About Pacific Beach
Pacific Beach offers a stunning stretch of sandy coastline along Washington's rugged Pacific shore, known for its dramatic ocean views, tide pools, and excellent conditions for beachcombing and photography. Visitors appreciate the relatively sheltered cove setting, which provides calmer waters than nearby exposed beaches, making it ideal for families and those seeking a more accessible coastal experience. The beach's blend of accessible parking, natural beauty, and abundance of shells and sea stars attracts both casual day-trippers and serious nature enthusiasts throughout the year.

Just a nice beach to stroll along and enjoy the peace and quiet. Nothing glamorous or ritzy, just quiet, even on a dreary day. Enjoy searching for sand dollars and shells. Also spacious enough one can just drive right out to and on it.
Casual, spacious beach with some good folks that frequent it. When the sun is out, it's hard to beat the vibe. If you find the Purples, you found a good time.
Lovely and so uncrowded in a Thursday in July. We perched on a driftwood log and had a snack, then strolled on the shore. Driving in beach allowed on one side of the entrance, and no driving on the other. No paved parking and soft sand, so know what you're doing or risk getting stuck.
The same Beach that you see at Ocean Shores but a lot less busy. It's nice as you don't have to dodge people as you drive the beach. Enjoy a beautiful sunset as you take in the ocean air. No smelly horses like you find at Ocean Shores.
Always a wonderful place to come visit..very peaceful!
