If antique shopping is your thing, this city has numerous antique shops to meander through. For the very serious collectors, the Ocean Shores Action Committee for Tourism in February puts on the yearly Antique and Collectible Show. The exhibit usually gathers a huge crowd, and expert appraisers are here to help you discover the value of your collectibles. It could be hard to imagine anything more romantic or relaxing than horseback riding along the beach. Or, if large animals aren’t necessarily your thing, rent a bicycle and explore the peninsula at your own leisure. This gorgeous peninsula is 100 percent cyclist-friendly, and you and your family will be able to view more than you would by vehicle. In June, the Sand and Sawdust Festival showcases numerous days of woodcarving and sand sculpting competitions.
In case of heavy rain, a bowling alley hosts league play in town, like “rock and bowl” every Friday, and in the bar you can enjoy karaoke if you’re heroic enough and even a game of pool. A great place to take your little ones when they’re tired of kite flying at the beach is the Pacific Paradise Game World. Here you’ll find go-karts, bumper boats and an arcade room. Popular seasonal things-to-do include whale watching, clamming and storm watching. Early spring is a great time to view a family of whales swim by. Winters never get too chilly, yet the storms blowing through are worth checking out. You’ll find clams at Grays Harbor.
