Grayland Beach State Park

Grayland Beach State Park is a coastal park in Washington that stretches along the Pacific Ocean with broad sandy beaches and rolling dunes forming its main landscape. The park provides space for outdoor activities and includes developed camping facilities that serve visitors throughout the year.

The park is named after Captain Robert Gray, an 18th-century explorer who mapped harbors and charted the Pacific Northwest coast during his voyages. His expeditions contributed significantly to early European knowledge of the region.

The beach draws kite enthusiasts who come to fly their creations over the sand and water, taking advantage of the strong Pacific winds that make this spot ideal for the activity.

The park is open year-round and offers varied camping options ranging from traditional sites with electrical connections to roundhouses with full modern amenities. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather and strong coastal winds, especially during cooler months.

The circular structures feature hardwood floors, screened windows, and roof openings that flood the interiors with natural light and views. This design approach creates a sleeping experience that blends simple construction with practical comfort.
