Ranked #5,501 in Travel, #171,915 overall
Ocean Shores Info
A great American beach town, set in a serene natural setting on the Olympic Peninsula, and surrounded by a million acres of national park. Beach homes for everyone. Only 2.5 hrs from Seattle, and a world away from pollution, traffic and stress. The beach beats it all!
A Great Place to Live
Ocean Shores and the Northern Beaches
Ocean Shores Washington is a great place to live and vacation. We came here about 7 years ago from NJ (via Oregon) and we love living here. Christian and I have traveled all over the world from Istanbul, to Perth, to Nordcapp (at the tip of an Island off the northern coast of Norway) and many places in between. We love Ocean Shores and the northern beaches for their natural beauty, privacy and fresh air. Ocean Shores is a great beach town, and it's still affordable for normal, everyday people. So, come out to the beach, and let us help you find a piece of your own. Ocean Shores Properties

Fireworks on the beach on the 4th
Every year, thousands of people come out to the beach and light fireworks off up and down the coast. It is one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen. Imagine thousands of fireworks going off at once for as far as your eyes can see.
Lots of fun!

Great lens. My husband and I haven't decided where to move when we retire so we spend a lot of time checking out what's available in different areas of the country. I don't know that we would move to Washington but it doesn't hurt to check it out.
