Twin Harbors State Park

Twin Harbors State Park is a coastal park in Washington covering 172 acres with sand dunes, driftwood-laden beaches, and direct access to Pacific waters. The landscape transitions through different terrain types that support various visitor activities throughout the park.

The site served as a military training facility in the 1930s, with barracks remaining until their demolition in 1977. This military past influenced how the land was eventually converted to public recreation use.

The beach draws people year-round for fishing, clamming, and experiencing the Pacific Northwest coastal way of life. These activities shape how locals and visitors connect with the water and surrounding landscape.

The park provides camping options including yurts, cabins, and RV sites with a 35-foot length limit, plus shower and restroom facilities. Check tide schedules before your visit since they affect beach access and clamming opportunities.

The shoreline features designated zones for shellfish gathering where visitors can collect various clam varieties during authorized seasons. These regulated areas make clamming here a structured and controlled experience rather than an open-access activity.
