As usual in the summer packed parking lot and the beach immediately adjacent to the campground was slammed but emptied out quickly and the entire back side of the point was empty

Damon Point is indeed open and made for a lovely stroll today. I wanted to return since my visit last year when we didn’t have time to make the whole loop.

The entire walk around the point and back was close to 4.9 miles and I was treated to a bald eagle having breakfast and heron wading in the water. I only found one agate (the beach is popular for them) but that’s more than last time!

The shore on the south side was easier walking than on the Gray’s Harbor side which was softer. But the turquoise blue of the water on harbor side and more seclusion made the loop worthwhile. 

This is a great beach for driftwood and there were quite a few structures built along the beach. The marine layer luckily burnt off so I could see Mount Olympus standing proud on the horizon across the harbor, as well.

A bonus was the portapotty at the parking lot was clean and had hand sanitizer. 🙂

Just an update to let everyone know that the area is now open. Parking lot was full last weekend. 

We had heard that this park might be closed, but were in the area so drove by to check it out.  There was no signage about closure, etc., and there were other people parked in the gravel lots by the road, so we felt it was ok.  There were quite a lot of people on the beach right by the entrance, but once you walked a few hundred yards toward the point  it was easy to social distance.  We walked counter clockwise around the point.  I love this park because you see it all as you go around the point---- big crashing waves, drift wood, agates, shells, wildlife, calm waters, etc.  We saw multiple seals in the water, as well as a bald eagle at the point.  There were wildflowers blooming along the interior as well.  Please note that dogs are not allowed on the second half of this trail due to nesting grounds.  Discover pass required.

A nice walk on the beach but the wind can get pretty intense. Even on a warm day, I would recommend a light rain jacket and capris to fend off the sand.
