Westport – Nice For Walking

Westport, WA is a pedestrian-friendly town with easy access to views of the working waterfront.

The Marina

A genuine seaport town.

Maritime culture just outside the marina:

Observation Tower

When you’re done at the marina, walk up to the public viewing tower and take a look:

Detailed information on the tower is here.

The tower has a live web cam showing views in all directions.

A fixed cam at Westport Maritime Museum also shows a view of the marina.

Both cams can be seen here.

The Cove

The Westport Light Trail begins at the base of the observation tower and will take you to the cove.

Walk the cove towards the state park and look for views of an international maritime culture.

An early March 2025 view:

At the state park, you may continue on the Westport Light Trail all the way south to W Ocean Ave. From there, it’s a short walk to the lighthouse. Google maps shows all of the trail here.

Look for surfers at the jetty.

Look for dog friendly beaches south of the jetty.

Finish up the Westport Light Trail and climb to the top of the lighthouse.

When you finish at the lighthouse you may head back to the beach on W Ocean Ave.

Head south for more dog friendly beach and plenty of sand dollars.
