Sightseeing in Sequim, WA

Drive past the campground (following the road to the end) and park at the Dungeness wildlife refuge parking area. Take a short hike from the visitors plaza on a wide trail down to the beach and enjoy the waves while taking in the surrounding wildlife! You do have to pay a $3 fee to walk to the beach but it is more than worth it!!

Sightseeing

Driving out to Lake Crescent will take almost an hour but is worth the drive! I highly recommend parking at the Marymere Falls trailhead near the boat launch and taking the hike to the falls if you need something pretty but nice and easy. If you are up for something more strenuous, I would take the hike up Storm King. The views at the top are beautiful! The water at Lake Crescent is truly magical. Even in the winter months, this place still holds much beauty and is worth exploring!

Experiences

PRIVATE MINERAL SOAK!~This is one of my favorite places to go to relax and reboot my system. You are able to rent a private tub and soak for an hour just by yourself or with your friends or partner. You need to book ahead to get a room, but I highly recommend checking this place out if you need a little spa time. Once you are in Port Townsend, there are many great restaurants to explore and Fort Worden Park is a beautiful place to go for a walk and enjoy the outdoors (and the historic bunkers).
