Discover Seabrook, Washington: The Pacific Northwest's Most Charming Beach Town

Looking for a relaxing beach vacation on the Washington Coast? Seabrook is a picturesque seaside community where charming cottages, miles of sandy beaches, local shops, and outdoor adventures come together to create the perfect getaway.

Designed as a walkable town, Seabrook invites visitors to leave the car behind and explore boutique shops, cafés, parks, and beach access on foot or by bike. Whether you're searching for seashells, flying kites, or watching a breathtaking Pacific sunset, the beach is always just a short stroll away.

A young town with a classic feel

Seabrook may look like it has been here for generations, but it's one of the newest towns on the coast. The community was established in 2004 on a bluff above the Pacific along State Route 109 — the Hidden Coast Scenic Byway — about a mile south of Pacific Beach and roughly 17 miles north of Ocean Shores. Its founders designed it around New Urbanist principles, the same walkable, front-porch approach behind Seaside, Florida, so homes, shops, and green spaces are knit together by sidewalks and trails rather than parking lots.

The result is a town where kids can ride bikes to the park, friends can walk to dinner, and the beach trail is never far from the front door.

Getting there

Seabrook sits on Washington's North Beach, a few hours' drive from both Seattle and Portland. Most visitors take I-5 to Olympia, head west through Aberdeen and Hoquiam, and follow the signs north toward Pacific Beach. Traffic can add time, especially on summer Fridays, so build in a cushion and plan to arrive before sunset.

Outdoor adventures

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, biking, surfing, fishing, and wildlife viewing, while nearby attractions like Olympic National Park and Lake Quinault make great day trips.

The wide beach below town is called Mocrocks, and it is one of Washington's razor clam beaches. Digs are scheduled by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife only after the clams are tested and found safe, and anyone 15 or older needs a shellfish license — so check WDFW's current announcements before you pack your clam gun. Even when the beach isn't open for digging, it's a beautiful place for long walks, kite flying, and beachcombing.

Explore the neighboring beach towns

Seabrook makes a great base for exploring the rest of the North Beach area. Neighboring Pacific Beach is just up the road, and Moclips sits a little farther north. Head south and you'll reach Ocean Shores, with its long beaches and plenty to do on a rainy afternoon.

Every season has its charm

No matter the season, Seabrook has something to offer. Summer brings long beach days and family fun, while fall and winter are perfect for cozy evenings, storm watching, and peaceful coastal walks.
