Wonderful Summer Family Vacation

Washington state is a summertime playground with great temperatures, incredible scenery, and amazing adventures. One of the most beautiful places (webcam) to visit in the state is the Olympic Peninsula. The Olympic National Forest is right in the middle of the peninsula with the State Forest bordering it on the north west. The views inside these forest are incredible. Lakes, mountains, valleys, wetlands, and meadows all make up the geography that paints the horizon. On the outskirts of the peninsula lay many small towns that border either the Pacific Ocean, the Straight of Juan de Fuca, or Greys Harbour. On the ocean side you can take in some incredible whale watching, sailing, or playing with the dolphins. Some people even enjoy sea kayaking through the pods of whales. The learning and fun that can be had on a vacation to the peninsula is incredible

As is our custom we want to point you to one of the nicest resorts for a family vacation. The Quinault Beach Resort is part of the Quinault Nation that is made of many Native American tribes that live in the area of Ocean Shores (one of the town on the Pacific). They can offer a family many things to do. Bike on the beach, go fishing in the ocean or at a private lake, take the family boating, or get a tour of the Quinault fish hatchery (which most people do not get to see). They of course have some adult fun, like a casino, but that is definitely not the center of attention at this resort. Food plays a major role in the resorts life. Try a stop in at Emily's for a fine dining experience or the Sushi Bar for a quick healthy and tasty lunch.
