Sequim Bay State Park

Sequim Bay State Park is a protected area on the Olympic Peninsula with shoreline access and varied habitats for wildlife and plants. It offers picnic areas, walking trails, and overnight accommodations right along the water.

The area was established as a nature preserve in 1936 to make the coast accessible to the public. Since then it has been an important retreat for people seeking nature and rest along the bay.

The park offers visitors chances to learn about local plants and animals, especially the marine life in the bay. Signs and small markers along the paths help people understand what they see around them.

The park sits on a peninsula and is easy to reach by car, with free parking at the entrance. Visitors should bring warm clothing since it can be windy, especially when walking along the shore.

The area sits in the rain shadow of the Cascade Range and receives far less rain than other places west of the mountains. This makes it an unexpected dry spot on an otherwise wet peninsula.
