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

Interesting place. I remember it was cold and windy when I visited it, and no birds around 😊 Thanks for the great wildlife encounters 👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Ah, wow, that’s too bad! I guess we we’re fortunate that it wasn’t too windy the day we were there. I’ll keep that in mind if I go back with my bird book. Did you get to hike out very far? I’m wondering if it was a calm day, would there be more or less birds out farther out the spit? Thanks- always nice to hear from you!

[@HikeToWildlife]

@@JenniferLupine Not too far. I turned back when realized that there were no birds.

[@ElColeccionistaZ]

It's a beautiful job congratulations God bless you 😺👍🙏

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you so much! Have a great day!

[@NicoleHikesalot]

Hello Jennifer that was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Amazing to hear the waves and see the beautiful views. The forest looked stunning too

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Nicole! No shortage of damp forests around here for hiking in the winter… and some pretty nice beaches too! If you’re out near Sequim this is a very accessible area. Thanks! 😄🌊🌊🐦

[@DJRhinoShow]

Wonderful nature. Great hiking experience.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks DJ Rhino! Glad you liked the hike! We were really happy it didn’t rain! 😁💦💦🌊🌊

[@GoodBoyChevy]

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.👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi friends in Japan! I’m so happy to share the area with you! Yum, Dungeness crab!! We haven’t had any for awhile either! 👌❤️ You’ll really enjoy it when you come back, fishing for salmon and halibut sounds perfect! 🎣🐟💙

[@philipdutton9831]

Can't beat it on a dry sunny day! Made it out to the lighthouse years ago and got to go up in it. Timing the tides is critical if you don't want be climbing driftwood on the way back. I know from experience. 😉 Thanks Jennifer!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Philip! Glad to hear you made it out to the Lighthouse and back safely!! I think it’s really best for a summertime adventure when you have more daylight and can get an extra low tide. I wouldn’t want to mess with the waves and water overtopping the spit! The nature opportunities here are amazing! Did you know the spit grows by about 14 feet per year!! 😄🌊🌊🐧🐦

[@TexMusicBR]

What an incredible place, I really loved seeing all these landscapes that you brought us here. Walking through such a place must be relaxing and rewarding, I really enjoyed it !!!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi TexMusic- thanks for visiting! Glad you enjoyed seeing the views of the beach- it’s a great place to visit year round! Have a great day! ☀️☀️🌊🌊

[@RYANandMICHELLEchannel]

Really beautiful spot! I was impressed by that list of birds to lookout for and your sightings as well, great video!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Ryan! I’m sure you would love visiting this area! Wasn’t that an impressive list! If I have time I’m going to try to visit again in the spring, this year or next, and look for more of the birds… sounds like fun! 🙋🏼‍♀️🐦🐦🐦

[@LifewithRussellandAna]

That’s such a beautiful view, Jennifer. 2:53 We have been to Dungeness Pit when we went to Sequim to buy from We Do Fudge we saw on the news. Love the peaceful and quiet place. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Cute deer at the end. 👍🏻🤗♥️

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Anna and Russell! I’m happy to hear that you’ve been to Sequim and went for a walk at Dungeness Spit too! I would expect it’s great year round… I want to go back in the spring when there might be a few more birds! We haven’t heard of We Do Fudge, sounds delicious! I’m not sure when they have the Lavender festival, but that’s a great time to visit as well! Thanks, have a great weekend! 😁🐦🐦🐦

[@LifewithRussellandAna]

@@JenniferLupine Love to visit a lavender farm this spring. We’ve been to a tulip festival in Mt Vernon. It’s so beautiful. 💐 Happy Hump Day! 🤗♥️

[@ervinslens]

These shots are amazing, what a unique place. Trail looks so unique 👌👌

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks Ervin! It’s a early nice beach - thanks! 🌊🌊🌊☀️

[@shubhashismishra2694]

Hi

[@CluelessYoutuber]

What a great hiking trail and leading up to those oceanic views 😁 felt like an ASMR with the waves and forest sounds :)

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks Kevin! It’s pretty peaceful there! I’m happy it’s protected for the wildlife, and that a potion is open for us to enjoy too.. thanks! 🌊🌊🐦🐦🌲🌲

[@kitmihaj]

Прекрасний океан і чарівний звук хвиль.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks friend! Happy Friday! 🐦🐦🐦

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Not a bad temperature and without the wing it looked a great day for a hike. Great trail through the woods and a nice viewpoint, a lot of driftwood on the beach and what a great sound the waves crashing on the beach. Loved the moody skies you got walking along the beach and all the wildlife, especially the deer at the end, cheers Alan

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Alan! How are things in the UK? It sure was nice to have little to no wind for our hike, and no rain! I’m sure you can imagine that it can get pretty windy out on the spit. It’s got great atmosphere and wildlife viewing… I’m hoping we go back again before too long 👌😄 Wasn’t that a bonus to see the deer! Thanks. 🌊🐦🌲💙💚

[@carrollleopard1961]

Nice trail. Beautiful country. I love the sound of the ocean. Also noticed the sign which listed the birds in the area, amazing the number of different species. I’m lucky to see 10 varieties in my community. I love all the driftwood. Our world is so amazing and we take it for granted most days. Nothing as calming as a walk in the woods or by the seashore. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks for joining us Carroll! Wasn’t that bird list amazing! I will definitely have to bring my bird book next time, and binoculars! I wouldn’t even recognize all the birds listed! I totally agree… very relaxing to take time for a walk and enjoy nature- the woods and seashores are amazing! Best not to take anything for granted! ☺💙💚🌲🌊

[@AlphaTraveler1]

OK, is this where the name Dungeness Crabs come from? The area looks so prehistoric. It reminds me of the Jurassic Park movie. LIKE 52. 👍👍👍👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Yes! That type of crab lives along the west coast of N America, but it’s name does come from Dungeness Spit… according to Wikipedia! 👌 The crabs live in the shallow bay here. Their range is from Alaska to Santa Barbara, CA. !!

[@melvinlosaria8175]

This is a lovely hiking park. Fantastic scenery attraction. The panoramic view of the place so beautiful all around. Very relaxing and refreshing to watched.

Hello Melvin! Glad you enjoyed the hike! It sure does feel relaxing and peaceful… isn’t it great that places like this are protected for wildlife! Thanks for the sub and wishing you all the best too! 😁🐦🐦🌊🌊

[@SergeCousineau]

Hello Jennifer & Steve Beautiful hike up to this quiet beach …so serine ! Sure must be careful to hike along the shore not to get caught by the tide . The log sure was getting a hard time rolling into the waves. Was that a seal 🦭 we saw ? The deer at the end was so nice 🤩 in the greenery Nice and relaxing video 😉👍 Have a great week Hélène &Serge 👩‍❤️‍👨🌈🇨🇦

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Serge! Yes, it’s very important to be alert and keep one eye on the ocean! Wasn’t that amazing to see how the water was tossing that heavy log around! Yes, we think it was a seal… and Steve is the one who spotted the deer, that was fun! 🌟👌

[@FanPTVlogs]

It's fun to walk on the beautiful trail. The sea is deserted and the waves are calm. Wishing you a happy and successful new year.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you! We were sure happy that it didn’t start raining! Great to walk along the beach! 😁🌊🌊🌊

[@Packsalot]

Nice area and exploration Jennifer. Well done on your video. Sure is relaxing to watch where you go and what you see. Interesting to see the tide charts. Great hike along the beach. Beautiful area. Be safe out there. Take care and have a great day.

[@JenniferLupine]

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! 👌😄

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Amazing place and very relaxing place to visit. Thanks for a great watch.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks Soren! There are quite a few nice beach trails around the Olympic Peninsula… it’s great that this area is protected for wildlife. Thanks so much for joining us! 😄🌊🌊🌊

[@Rodaportal]

What a serene and picturesque hike! 😍 The combination of the lush forest and the calming sound of the ocean waves makes it a perfect escape into nature. 🌳🌊 The wildlife encounters were a delightful bonus, capturing the beauty of the birds and the graceful deer. 🐦🦌 It's incredible how the beach is adorned with unique driftwood, adding a touch of charm to the landscape. 🏖 The video showcased the best of the Pacific Northwest's breathtaking scenery, leaving us with a sense of awe and tranquility. 🌲🌅 Thank you for taking us on this virtual adventure; it felt like a refreshing break from our busy lives. 🚶‍♂💫

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi friends, thank you! We love having driftwood on our beaches! So many trees wash down the rivers then end up on the beaches- it’s left there as part of the natural ecosystem and people aren’t allowed to collect it on the public lands. O yes, we love the birds and wildlife. I’m happy you found it calming. 👌 I really appreciate your visit and thoughtful comments. Have a great upcoming week! 😄 Cheers- Jen

[@IcelandVideoGallery]

Amazing Spit. Lot of interesting thigs to see there. THanks for the upload.

[@JenniferLupine]

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a wonderful place to visit and hang out or walk along the beach. Lots of cool birds too, when they’re migrating through! I’m hoping to go back and hike all the way out to the Lighthouse… one has to time the tide and have enough daylight! Thank you! 😄☀️☀️

[@goldenageskhmer]

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you so much! Great to have you be first! 😄👌 🌸🌺🌸

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

So peaceful there. I could listen to the ocean waves for hours. Beautiful hike, Jennifer!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Donna! Thanks for joining us… I find it very peaceful too! I’m sure you’d find lots of interesting nature with the birds and driftwood. We saw a cluster of barnacles clinging to one piece of driftwood … I bet they’ll be happy when the tide comes back in. I think there will be more birds visiting during the spring migration … we were maybe seeing the winter guests. 🐦🐦 Thanks Donna… I hope you’re staying warm! 🙋🏼‍♀️🌊☀️

[@quote_nature]

It was wonderful joining you on the walk Jennifer. Great hike on the trail to the spit and loved seeing the birds in their habitat with the soothing sound of the waves in the background. The Pacific Northwest is such a beautiful part of the country. The distant stunning views of the surrounding landscapes take my breath away. Thank you! Best regards, Cathy

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Cathy - thanks for joining us! This Wildlife Refuge sure has a lot to offer! I’m sure you would love it and find many of the listed birds! It’s wonderful to have the bluff area as well as the sheltered coastal areas protected. I’m so happy you enjoyed the atmosphere and the views! Have a lovely week! ~ Jennifer

[@JenniferLupine]

Good morning! Thanks for visiting! Yes, we spotted a couple sea lions in the water, but they just showed their heads… not very easy to see them! Thanks! Have agent weekend! 🌊🌊🌊

[@IamHelenKeller]

Thanks for sharing the interesting video. It's surprising to see so many evergreen ferns and shrubs near the beginning of the video...considering Washington is so far north. But I suppose being near the ocean must make the climate milder. Some nice scenes from the beach, with the birds. Hope things are going well for you. Warm Winter Wishes! 🐼 🦓

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks so much for visiting! Ah, yes, we’re farther north but we have a pretty mild climate at sea level … lots of evergreen trees and ferns in the low elevation forests. Once we go up higher into the mountains there will be lots of snow in the winter. Thanks for visiting and saying hello! 😁🐦🐦🐦

Hi Jennifer 👋 !! A great location to explore, lovely forest, coastal features and wildlife 😊👍 !! I guess it’s named after Dungeness on the south coast of England, which is also a well known coastal feature 🌊🌊🌊🚶‍♂️✅ ! Thanks again, cheers, Don 🙋‍♂️ !!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Don, yes, I read that Dungeness is named after the location in England! I will go look that up and add a link.. thanks! I read about it, but hadn’t followed up yet! This is another one of our beach areas that’s great to explore year round. Next time I go back I’ll try to go when I can see more birds. Cheers! 🙋🏼‍♀️~ Jennifer

Hi Chris! Glad you enjoyed it! If I have time I’m going to try to go back in the spring with some binoculars and my bird book. It’s a little too far away for a day trip, especially with the short winter days. There’s a loop hike up on the bluff area, but what’s most exciting for me is the water / beach area.

[@anitamuc]

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

Nice hike at Dungeness Spit. Beautiful stretch of sand, the sounds of waves and the spooky driftwoods and the birds.. perfect afternoon vibes. Would love to see you hike upto the lighthouse some time in the future on a clear spring or summer day. Have a great week, Jennifer. Take care!

[@JenniferLupine]

Isn’t it wonderful! I would really like to hike all the way out too! I’ll be watching for when there is a low/low tide near 11:00 in the early spring… that should give me enough time if I start around 8:00! The lighthouse used to be open for tours… I’d love to see inside too, wouldn’t that be a bonus! 😄 Thanks! 🙋🏼‍♀️🌊🌊🌊

[@goexploringwithcolor-shawn]

This beach looks so beautiful with very clean sand. And those woods looks pretty, along the trail in the woods to the beach,just suddenly very wide open in front of eyes. Feel so great. Thank you for wonderful sharing 😍❤️👍👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Color! Thank you! It’s a really special place, glad you enjoyed it! 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. Thanks, and have a great week! 🌊🌊🐦🐦

[@alanwilliamson6421]

It's always great to miss the rain!

[@JenniferLupine]

You’re so right, thanks Alan! 😄🌊🌊🌊

[@HikeCamp]

The forests there are so thick with undergrowth... It seems particularly in the lower elevations... I have walked along the beach in CA when the tide was coming in... It seemed quite fast...

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Max! Yes, isn’t it amazing how thick the forests are… it feels damp, but refreshing for a winter hike. 🌲🌲💚 The incoming tides can really sneak up on you… and with the driftwood and other debris it’s super important to pay attention along these beaches. We went to the beach in CA when I was younger, but as kids we didn’t have tide charts, we just knew the ocean was going to come up and knock down our sand castles - lol!!

[@4truth69]

Just got back from there last week staying at Discovery Bay WorldMark didn’t hike the spit but are planning to go back next year with out RV for two weeks during fishing season. Had a high pressure over the PNW, sunny week which was lucky timing it only rained the day before we left. The whole area is beautiful lots to see and do ! Next WA trip planned is Birch Bay!

[@JenniferLupine]

Sounds great! Glad you had such good weather! Lots of excellent fishing (and hiking). Birch Bay is great too! Lots of beautiful coastal areas in Wa. I hope you get to hike the spit one day- it’s on my wish list- trying to coordinate with a low tide about noon-2:00, and a long summer day. Thanks for watching and saying hi! 😄

[@antonioromopiano]

Thank you for sharing this lovely hike, Jennifer! What a beautiful beach! I hope you have a fantastic weekend, my friend. 😊🎹

[@SimpleHouseholdRepairSol-qb9ze]

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.

[@JenniferLupine]

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! 😄☀️☀️☀️

[@laagangkatabang]

Hello Jennifer... You are always have a gorgeous hike and I love your adventures. Love those sceneries and weather conditions, Greeny surrounding are refreshing. I enjoyed watching

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you so much! I enjoy hearing from you, thanks and have a great week! 😁🌲🌲

[@StepsbyKaatje]

That split looked amazing to walk on. Almost like walking in the middle of the ocean. But when the tide comes, I think you better run and get out of there! Lots of driftwood and other stuff out there. It must be so great for bird watching! All the best! Kaat

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Kaat! Yes, better not get caught out on the spit at high tide! It’s really fun to walk on if the wood is dry and if it’s not getting bounced around by the tide! I slipped on one in December, that wasn’t fun, thankfully I didn’t get hurt. How are you doing after your recent incident with Frodo? Hope no bruises! Take care, all the best ~ J L 🙋🏼‍♀️💙

It's an unparalleled presentation of this thrilling place !! Hope you enjoyed the hike through the forest and the essence of natural beauty as well. Greetings from India.

[@JenniferLupine]

Hello to you in India! Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it- great to have you visit! I’m very happy this area is protected for the wildlife! Thanks and have a great week! 🐦🐦🌊🌊

What a wonderful combination of beach and forest hike with great chance to see interesting animals! The tide times are probably very important to note, especially in winter... Best regards from Cologne and a big like!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi and thanks! It really is a nice combination of woods and open coast hiking. I’m always impressed how the forest goes right up to the water’s edge around here. Yes, it gets dark these days about 5:00p and in the summertime it gets dark about 9:30p… someday I’ll try to hike all the way out on a long summer day! 😁🌊🌊🐦🐦💙

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

Hi Jen this looked a beautiful place that you both went to and so nice to hear the surf as you walked through the forest. Loved the wooden viewpoint of the beach. Wondered what was meant by a spit ? We don't have them here. Loved all of the driftwood on the sand and the relaxing sounds of the waves coming until the shore, this would make a great relaxation video :) I can see how it could get dangerous though at high tide . We love walking on the beach in this sort of weather. Great footage and sounds of the birds all together on the sand and that one bird perched on wood ! So beautiful and ac always I really enjoyed this ~ Anna ❤ 👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Anna! I’m happy that you enjoyed hearing the surf and seeing the views… it really was relaxing to walk along the beach! They call the large C type shape a “spit”…. kind of like a peninsula, but it’s curved and it’s sand, not solid, fixed land. They’re formed by the winds pushing the waves and sand, it doesn’t move straight up though, it works kind of like a Z… the wind pushes the sand up and pushes it further along the beach too… they call it long shore drift. This spit is getting about 14 feet longer every year! Pretty fun to learn about, thanks for asking! 😄🐦🐦🌊🌊💙

Hi, thank you! It’s an amazing beach! Have a great day! 😄☀️☀️

[@karlo8093]

What a wonderful day you had. that's a neat little walk, just a sandy strip out into the strait. Sure seemed peaceful with the surf crashing on one side and the calm waters on the other. Perfect solitude for y'alls picnic lunch. Awesome vid Jennifer!

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Karl! It’s a really great place to visit, and even better with a picnic! lol. it does seem quite a contrast to have the wind and waves on one side and the calmness on the other. If we lived closer I’d definitely visit more often! Thanks! 🌊🌊🐦~ Jennifer

[@MyTravelVanz58]

[@dayadventureswithgasper]

This was such a peaceful hike. Wonderful combination of the sea and woods. Nice that there is a sheltered area for the wildlife on the beach. Nice video capture of some of the birds and the deer. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely week, Jennifer.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks Gasper! It’s a really nice wildlife refuge- with great access to the spit, even though the inside area is protected. We’ve been to some places where there’s really no where to observe the wildlife, even from a distance. We enjoyed the beach and the birds! 😄 Thanks!! You too, have a lovely week!

I would enjoy hiking this trail breathing in the fresh air. Hearing the sound of the ocean, wind and birds was super relaxing. 👍💯⌚

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! I'm hoping to go back during the spring bird migration. :)

[@atrampinthehills.841]

looks wonderful...i could sit on those washed up logs and listen to those waves for hours...a lovely walk Jennifer.

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Steven, me too! It’s very relaxing, and if we brought our binoculars we might see a few interesting birds! Thanks! 😄🌊💙

[@BryanDeLay]

Well, I learned something new today. I've never heard of a spit in connection with the ocean. That was a long list of birds! Were those hemlocks in the wooded area?

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Bryan! Isn’t this a cool land feature! I’m really happy that they have it open for public access, it’s a great area for people to enjoy nature. Interestingly, it increases by an average of 14 feet per year. The tall sandy bluffs nearby supply mor sand as they stuff off. I don’t know how many people make it all the way out to the Lighthouse and back…we haven’t tried… it’s probably best to go in the summer when it stays light until 9:30p. Yes, they sure have a lot of bird visitors! 🐦🐦 As for the trees, I’ll try to find a list, but the lower elevation forests in the coastal areas are generally mixed Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Western Hemlock and Spruce. I didn’t look closely this time, but I would guess they had a good mix! Next time I go I’m going to plan Moe sitting and watching time, and I’ll bring some binoculars. 😄

Thanks so much! Big hello from Washington! 😄🌊🌊🌊

[@AdventureModeTraveling]

That is really a beautiful hiking area. I wish I lived near some nice trails like this. It would especially be cool to get near the ocean like you. It was interesting seen all of the driftwood/logs along that shore

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi and thanks for joining us! I hope you can find some nice trails near you! It’s pretty fun to see all this driftwood, it’s pretty typical for the beaches around Washington since there are so many trees up in the mountains. Some of the driftwood logs are pretty old! Thanks and have a great day! 😄🌊🌊🌊

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Will put this on our bucket list! Thanks for sharing Jennifer, always great to see your beautiful hikes.

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Karen and Shannon! If you have time when you’re out at the Olympics, I know you’d love exploring here. It’s another one of the local hikes that’s nice year round. If you had a clear day you’d have gorgeous mountain views too! 👌🌊🌊🌲🌲

[@returnoftheromans6726]

Thank you for uploading this. Used to live in Sequim, but moved away and have not been able to visit since. Miss the area and all of the hiking opportunities. This beings back memories. Hiked the Dungeness Spit quite a few times; canoed along it once and saw seals. The Spit always has driftwood along it, and it's fun to see the little driftwood huts people have made while hiking.

[@JenniferLupine]

Good morning! Great to hear you’ve enjoying hiking at the Spit and living in Sequim! It’s beautiful all year long! I’ve visited a few times, including for the lavender festival! I love the beach area by the spit. Someday I’ll go at low tide and make it all the way to the lighthouse and back. Thanks for watching and saying hello! 😄🩵💙💚
