We live on the South-Western most corner of Washington State. The 29 mile long peninsula is know for it's fine dinning experiences due to the local availability of fresh seafood. Oysterville was in the 1800's the West Coast souce of fresh Willa Bay oysters and still is a million dollar business today. Fishing and logging in the past were the mainstays of support for the local folks. Due to loss in these two, tourism has carved an in-road to our corner as the newest industry to support our Peninsula.

The beach is approximately 28 miles of driveable sand on low tide. The beach also supplies the tastiest razor clams around.
