The Dungeness Spit is the longest natural sand spit in the United States. It is also home to a multitude of wildlife, including shorebirds, waterfowl, shellfish, and seals. Extending 5 miles out into the Strait of Juan De Fuca, the spit offers a really long hike or a short stroll on the coast.
June 22 – 24th is definitely the weekend to explore this wonderful area so close to Seattle.
