Grayland Washington Tourism |
 |
A small community along State Highway 105, on the beautiful Washington Coast, Grayland is the heart of the “Cranberry Coast”. There are many cranberry bogs, that were started by the Finnish farmers nearly 150 years ago.Be sure to attend the Cranberry Harvest Festival, held the second full weekend in October, located at the Historic Grayland Community Hall. The Hall was built by the Finnish people in the 1930’s and it is still used today for the annual Cranberry Harvest Festival, Driftwood Show, Holiday Market Place and many community events and festivals. An enormous stretch of 18 miles of beach is flat, sand covered, patched with spiky grasses. Stand at the edge of the ocean and take a big breath until your lungs nearly burst and your cares will fly with the wind. No noise other than the sound of the gulls and the muted dull roar of the surf. The residents are as steady and relentless as the ocean. Lots of them operate their own roadside businesses, cafes, small groceries, gift/antique shops, motels/cabins and camping/RV parks. Plus Grayland State Park, some sites near the beach. Nothing fancy about the town or its residents. Just friendly folk. Come, take a stroll on the beach, fly a kite, try our cranberry cuisine or just relax. |
