Hike at Dungeness Spit, Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, Sequim | NWR in Washington

If you like Pacific Northwest beaches, here is a nice one for you! At Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, hikers can follow the beach at Dungeness Spit for up to 5.5 miles, going as far as the New Dungeness Lighthouse near the point. It’s a nice out and back along the sandy beach (total 11 miles). There are lots of birds and plenty of driftwood! When Steve and I recently visited we hiked out about 1.5 miles, had a nice picnic, then turned back.
When hiking this beach you have to be very mindful of the tide and stay to the west / outside portion of the spit. The east / inside portion is closed to the public and is protected for wildlife. Also be mindful for waves and logs and other debris in the water. Current tide charts are available online and are posted at the trailhead.
The NWR is on the Olympic Peninsula, along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, close to Sequim, Washington. (Pronounced: skwim)
Hiked on January 13, 2023
3.5 miles, (out and back)
$3.00 parking

    Lived in Sequim from 1955-62. Hiked the spit as a teen in 1961, and signed the Coast Guard log book (signature is still there). Hiked it again with my wife in 1994 and then stayed at the lighthouse in 2014. The town has change a LOT since I lived there. It is said "you can never go home." So true.

    Fun memories! I love the spit, such an amazing area! I’ve been able to visit just 5-6 times over the years- would love to make it all the way to the lighthouse! O wow, we should see if we could stay there too, that would be amazing! I really want to try the hike all the way out, but I would have to find a mid day low tide in the summer with the most daylight!! Isn’t it true everywhere seems to have grown up and changed, sometimes places are unrecognizable now. Thanks for watching and saying hello! 😄☀️☀️☀️

    I will forever be able to smell the unique scents of low tide along the shoreline of Juan de Fuca Strait in my mind and dreaming of eating Dungeness crab again . I will also go salmon and halibut fishing when we return to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Thanks Jennifer, for the 10 minutes of bliss and wonderful memories growing up there; as I sit and enjoy watching these Washington State videos that you share from here in Japan.👍

I’m always amazed at how the forest grows all the way up to the beach… yes, when you walk along and finally reach the beach, it’s amazing! In the summertime it stays light until about 9:30p, so that would be a great time to try to walk all the way out to the lighthouse… the beach closes just before sunset, which is about 5:00p now, so there’s not enough tie to get all the way out and back.

    Yep… I know what you mean… I’m not sure if the signs go all the way out the spit… lots of people need reminders. Some day we’re going to try to get all the way out to the lighthouse, and back!! 😆🌊🌊🌊 Thanks!!

    Thanks Werner! This beach is a really great place to see the waves in action and enjoy seeing s few birds too. It’s really too far to get out to the lighthouse and back in the wintertime- maybe when there’s a low tide in the summer. Thanks for visiting- have a great day! 😄🌊🌊🐦🐦

    Thanks Steve! We’ve been getting out between the rain drops! 💦💦 It’s been nice to get over to the Olympic Peninsula more this winter … I’ve got my eye on some summer hikes over there too!! We either have to do a long drive or catch a ferry, so it takes a bit of planning. You’ll really enjoy it when you have time to visit! 👌😄

    I always find it nice and interesting to return to a place where you've been before. What has changed. I still like it there. Or not at all. However, the place is so beautiful that you can always come back. The beginning of the hike is a really beautiful forest path. Only when you hear the sound of the sea do you recognize the proximity of the water. The first view of the coast from above is beautiful. The large amount of wood makes the headland very interesting. Here you can watch wonderful birds. I was happy to accompany you again. Thank you for taking me with you. Warm greetings, Anita
