Boldly Roam in Port Angeles

Framed by one of the largest National Parks, you’ll find bold nature connected with small town vibes in the seaside city of Port Angeles. Here are the top picks for your visit:
1. Shop, dine and drink through the walkable downtown, waterfront and City Pier.
2. Rent an e-bike and buzz out to “The Hook”, part of the 135+ mile Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT), for city, sea & Olympic mountain views.
3. Discover history buried below your feet with the Underground Heritage Tours departing from the Visitor Center.

4. Gaze at a giant Pacific octopus and “local only” sea life at the Feiro Marine Life Center. Go tidepooling at Salt Creek Recreation or Freshwater Bay.
5. Hunt for over a dozen hand-painted outdoor art murals in downtown celebrating maritime history and indigenous culture.
6. Visit the Elwha-Klallam Museum to see 2,000 year old artifacts from the ancient Tse-whit-zen village, c’ix’íc’n, excavated near Ediz Hook.
7. Wake up with a sunrise sea kayak tour in the calm water around the harbor, or board a whale watching tour from the Wharf to see a variety of whales - orcas, humpbacks, grays, minke and more.

8. Paddle in Lake Crescent’s striking blue water. Bike the Spruce Railroad Trail, which winds its way around a significant portion of the lake.
9. Pack a picnic and gawk at the views in Olympic National Park. We suggest Hurricane Ridge, Deer Park Road, Marymere Falls, Sold Duc Falls, Hoh Rain Forest, and Ruby Beach.
