About This Beach
Damon Point is a sandy spit that extends into Grays Harbor, forming a unique peninsula with beaches on all sides. The area is designated as a marine protected area and wildlife refuge, particularly important for snowy plovers, a threatened shorebird species. The point offers four miles of walkable beach around its perimeter. Once the site of a massive shipwreck, the S.S. Catala, remnants can sometimes still be found. The beach is famous for agate hunting, with semiprecious stones frequently found along its shores. Mount Rainier is visible on clear days, creating a stunning backdrop. The relative isolation due to its quarter-mile hike from parking makes it less crowded than nearby Ocean Shores beaches.
