Relax at the Resort
The simplest thing to do on a rainy day is nothing at all. Stick around the resort for the day and have a cozy day together in your guest room. Turn on the propane fireplace in the living room and enjoy the sound of the rain against the windows. Pick up groceries and make a meal or dessert together in the fully equipped kitchen. Step outside your room for even more fun at our Clubhouse Game Room, featuring a pool table, foosball, board games, puzzles, and books.
Embrace the Rain Outdoors
The rain doesn’t mean you have to stay in all day. Embrace it and go on a rainy walk along the beach or hiking trails in the region, find a spot to watch winter storms roll in, and dig for razor clams on Copalis Beach on open dig dates.
Indoor Activities in Ocean Shores
If you want to get out of the rain fully, there are plenty of indoor attractions on the Washington Coast to keep you dry. Drive over to Ocean Shores and knock down some pins at Shores Bowl, watch a movie at Ocean Shores Cinema, or check out the indoor arcade at Pacific Paradise. For something more educational, stop at the Coastal Interpretive Center museum, and for something just for the adults, try to win big at the Quinault Beach Resort & Casino.
Grab a Drink: Taprooms, Pubs, and Wine Bars
Rainy days are the perfect time to check out the local food and drink scene. Grab a drink at the Ocean Pours Taproom and sample an impressive selection of ales, lagers, seltzers, and wines brewed in the Pacific Northwest. They even have a covered outdoor seating area, so you can enjoy your drink outside while staying dry. Visit The Garage or Porthole Pub for an evening of refreshing drinks, food, and live music. Head to The Stowaway Wine Bar in Pacific Beach, grab a seat by the fire, order the perfect glass of wine, and pair it with a charcuterie board.
Shopping on the Washington Coast
Get out of the rain and find a unique souvenir at the shops along the coast. Visit the popular shark-themed gift shop in Ocean Shores to find everything from coffee mugs to apparel. Find even more shops in town selling kites, clothing, gifts, antiques, and candies. Browse more shops in Seabrook.
