May & June 2022 Beach Newsletter May 16, 2022 |
May & June 2022As we near the kick-off of summer, Grays Harbor beaches offers many opportunities for weekend get-a-ways and summertime vacations. Both the north and south beaches have many activities for family fun and relaxation. South Beaches:Westport/Grayland
For the fisherman, there are Charterboat fishing trips for bottom fish, halibut and salmon. Book your favorite boat early. For those who would like to try your hand at fishing, the charter boats are a great way to get out on the ocean and hopefully come home with fresh caught fish. This can be a fun opportunity for the whole family. There is also a derby you can enter to win money for the largest fish caught for the day and for the biggest fish caught in different categories for the season. At the end of May, Westport has a day dedicated to the blessing of the fleet, and the VFW has a Memorial Day Ceremony. There is also Gray Whale watching trips available through the month of May. June offers more dates for Halibut fishing and also kicks off the salmon season starting June 18th in certain marine areas and runs through September 30th or until quotas are met.
