Access

Short walk |
Tacoma Airport. Located smack dab on the middle of Washington's coast it's only 2 hours from Seattle. The fastest way from Seattle is south I-5 to Olympia. Take the Hwy 101 exit then the Hwy 8 exit 5 miles later. Hwy 8 turns into HWY 12 at Elma. Follow 12 to Aberdeen and here drive south on 101 over the bridge and just after the bridge take state highway 105 west. Drive all the way until you hit the ocean, then turn right. Now drive up north to Westport and get to the ocean.
