About Ocean Shores

Ocean Shores is a coastal resort city on the Point Brown Peninsula in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Serving as a protective breakwater for the Grays Harbor estuary at the mouth of the Chehalis River, the community of approximately 7,300 was historically used as a trading site by regional Native American tribes. Today, the tourist-friendly city is served by the North Beach School District and offers miles of sandy ocean beaches.
