Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed in 2013 as part of the Washington State Parks Centennial GeoTour - "100 caches in 100 parks to celebrate 100 years" - cosponsored by Washington State Geocaching Association (WSGA).

Westhaven State Park is a 79.06-acre day-use park with 1,215 feet of shoreline on the Pacific Ocean and Half Moon Bay. The park has panoramic views of the beach and is within minutes of the city of Westport, the marina and nearby attractions. Sitting along the South Jetty, the park is a popular destination for surfing, jetty fishing, crabbing and picnicking. A concrete boardwalk transverses the primary dune, connecting this park with Westport Light State Park, 1.3 miles away.

Park Hours:
Summer: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Winter: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The park is open year round for day use only.

Located in the town of Westport. This is a beach popular with boarders and windsurfers. I've seen them on every visit! The beach is a vast expanse of light brown sand littered with wave-rounded rocks and glass, driftwood, seaweed and shells. A large dune separates the beach from the parking area.

In addition, informational signs explain more about the beach ecology.

Though one image cannot do justice to this popular park, I supply this:
