We spent a soggy spring break in Seabrook, Washington along the Olympic Peninsula. Although it rained nearly the entire time we found ways to make the most of it – caught up on good books, jigsaw puzzles, board games, and took advantage of short breaks in the weather.
Seabrook is set up similar to the other developments we’ve stayed at in Oregon – Olivia Beach and Bella Beach. I love these cottage communities: family friendly, walking trails, fire pits, parks, and convenient beach access. What makes Seabrook different is that it’s an actual town. Created from the ground up, complete with a town square. Although it’s more remote than its sister locales, it includes an on-site restaurant/pub, market, pottery studio, spa, indoor pool and many other businesses in the works.
We stayed at Ella’s Escape, which I learned is the beach house they’re giving away for an entire year! Want it to be yours? Enter here.
Post-swim and brief hot tub dip {sign stated only ages 6+ allowed}. For my little anti-rule breaker, it was living on the edge.
One afternoon we found respite from the rain at the cheery pottery studio. Walked away with garden gnomes, a princess bank and a custom hand-stamped pasta bowl:
We actually never set foot on the sand. How sad is that? But every time it stopped raining and we ventured down it was either high tide or high winds. But we spent time gazing at the horizon. And watching the waves crash. Which is what you do when you visit the coast in off-season.
The sun made an appearance the morning of our departure {of course!}.
Oh my goodness, I love the garden gnomes! And I appreciate the review – we just moved back to the Northwest this year and are always looking for new/fun places to spend a weekend on the coast with our little Monkey Boy. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
wow! i have never heard of this place and now i'm dying to go. great post. looks awesome.
