Pacific County's forests, wetlands, ocean beaches, rivers, and streams offer the outdoor enthusiast unparalleled, year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation. Activities include hunting of elk, deer, and waterfowl, razor clam digging, and fresh and saltwater fishing—including some of the best sturgeon and salmon fishing on the West Coast.
Willapa Bay, the eight rivers feeding it, and the calm waters of the many sloughs and inlets provide excellent kyaking and bird watching. The ocean beach is only 30 minutes from Raymond, and a wide variety of tourist attractions are available an hour north to Westport or an hour south to the Long Beach Peninsula.
