We went while it was approaching high tide. I used to live here years ago and I feel like this place has a pretty unqiue scent and feel to it. Lots of birds in the water. I remember back then also seeing crabs, seals, and whales. Be prepared to climb over huge rocks if you plan to cross to the ocean side, some parts are a bit unnerving but its great fun. On the calm side of the waters, theres a house off in the distance with a huge USA in their front yard, if you have binoculars try to see it!
Beautiful, quite. Perfect place for car picnic (can be pretty windy)
A wonderful detour as we headed to the Hoh Rainforest. Kids wondered if we could see Canada, and yes we could on the day we were there. It was neat exploring the rocks and waterfront. Saw a lot of fishermen on their way out to go catch something. Saw some Cats nearby and food stations I guess for those cats. Someone was adding food and water. Must be to keep the rat population down.
The description is very misleading. This is a pothole parking lot along the long strip of rockery built to make the shipping port. Its an industrial area. Definitely not rugged nor serene but yes you can see the mountains, sea and islands, like you can from many places. At least its something along the water with free parking. I have no idea how this is a reservation for birds.
This place is amazing. If youre a local, its a great place to take lunch to and eat on the beach. If youre a tourist, its a must-see for Port Angeles. I grew up coming here on little trips with my parents and plan to continue doing so with my own kids.
Great place to see ocean life. We saw seals and otters. Also there were cats living in the large rock sea wall.
My friends and I were just looking for a place to see driftwood and ocean and this was perfect! Also look out for a driftwood archway that’s perfect for photos
There is always something to see at Ediz Hook. Birds, harbor seals and otters are some of my favorites.
Great, windy spot for watching sea birds. Be prepared to climb over some rocks on the sea wall, but be careful! Good spot for storm watching also.
One of my all time favorite spots to admire and appreciate the true beauty of my home
Always a fun trip! New things to see everytime!
Nice place to watch for birds and other wildlife.
Views of Olympic mountains and about face you see Victoria Canada sun sets and beautiful sun rises
Nice place to visit, going for a walk or ride a bicycle
You can always find me down here super beautiful. the mill smells horrific but it doesnt affect further down the road
We go to the Hook everytime we are in PA. Love it.
Its beautiful, tons of beach access areas and parking. Ediz Hook is free to visit
Based on other reviews, we decided to go here thinking it would be a nice natural reprieve and it is a concrete monstrosity with nice views back to the peninsula and across the water to Canada. The spit itself is not very nice at all.
Cool little spot! Lots of flat rocks to add to my collection!
Great place for walking.. Never know what you will find
Such an amazing place to walk, have a picnic at the tables, and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. We could see Canada right across the sea.
It was such a beautiful walk. Was able to go a little rock hunting. Mu kids and dog loved the little walk as well. I would definitely go here for a walk.
I have enjoyed Ediz Hook for many yearsHowever, the amount of trash on the beach is a sad downside of this area.My girlfriend and I picked up trash for 6+ hours, and only made it about a half mile along the beach before running out of trash bags and sunlight.If you visit Ediz Hook, or any other beach.....Please take a trash bag and show some appreciation to the planet that gives us EVERYTHING we have.
Drive right up to the water! Sweet spot.
I like the Ricky side way better. Harder to navigate but way more cool rocks shells and glass then the other side.
Very windy, great place to fly a kite or eat a meal, no restrooms
Love coming out here to look over Port Angeles..
My favorite place in port angeles. I love seeing the dozens and dozens of seals laid out on the logs all at once. And the view is incredible. Makes me feel peace inside.
Very popular all day and at dusk.
Great place for a stop, walk, or have a day out on the water. Cool place to stop and see the views!But I have one very major issue... if this is a bird sanctuary, who thought it would be a good idea to feed the feral cats?Where is the humain Society or Fish & Game? Not only are the cats being fed, some idiots are housing them.Highly disappointed about that.
Beautiful place to relax with the family.
Best times to go are during sunset or sunrise. Youll see the mountain meet the ocean, and the meaning of breathtaking can be understood.
Wonderful peacful place
Nothing beats the fresh air, birdwatching, sound of water crashing against the rocks and if youre lucky...quiet moments to reflect upon the beauty.
Look at the map and tell me this isnt a land mass you want to see with your own eyes.
Great place to walk the beach
Beautiful for sight seeing
Very nice place to walk and relax on a sunny day! Locals take the initiative to keep it clean, so thats also great. Not a lot of shade, though, so be prepared to face the sun with sunscreen and plenty of liquids.
We came here because we heard you can find sea glass. We found a total of two pieces. So it isnt great for sea glass, but it is a nice view; not much else to do here.
Could have spent hours there watching the boats and tides
Nice relaxing place to spend time!
I didnt go when the weather was so great, but on a clear day, I can only imagine...
Great view on sunny days; most of the birds here comprise of cormorants, coots, and seagulls. Sometimes youll get to see motorboats come in with a haul of dungeness crab.
Great location to get away from the world and embrace the sea. Walking distance from town.
Coolest little drive.
Lots of drift wood for beach combing.
My place to go for let the troubles go away with the pounding surf and wind. But I also go to watch the seals, birds and people. I saw three otter swim one day. Its a place kids explore beach. Picnic, boat ramp. People kayaking paddling crew rowing. So much to do.
Lovely place to go look out at the sea or back on Port Angeles.
So beautiful. I love it every time I visit.
Very beautiful area. Canada on the horizon. Water on both sides of a very skinny peninsula. Cascades on the other horizon. And if you look west, there is nothing but ocean until the earth disapears under its own curve. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.
Great spot to spend the day on the water
Beautiful, but windy as hell
Amazing being near the water n its a safe spot
A great place to launch a boat in Port Angeles.
Beautiful Views of Port Angeles and the Straight!
Absolutely beautiful. Build some rock towers!
Fun place to go to the ocean in town, they have one dock to wall on. Salt creek is fun to visit and camp
Very nice beach very clean. Had the weather been better would have stayed longer. Cant wait to go back and stay all day.
Not especially beautiful in itself it provides an interesting perspective allowing you to drive out in the middle of the water. Nice view of Port Angeles. In addition to birds we saw seals here.
Great views of Port Angeles and Victoria Canada and Vancouver island
Great place to run the dog for awhile. Rain or Shine always something new to see.
Nice & quiet. Lol
One of my favorite place too go for a walk or even just sit a think for a bit. Great for kids as well. Walking on the beach or looking for cool rocks and shells is great for family fun
Ive been enjoying this place all of my life.
Love the white caps and crashing waves!!!
Love the ships, wildlife & view of the Olympics
Quick trip with a great view to bird watch & spot harbor seals
The view is amazing!
Amazing views of the straight and of Port Angeles, the jetty is home to various native cats, just an awesome one of a kind experience.
It is beautiful and amazing and you can see Canada and pa just by doing a 180 degree turn . Just becareful at night and keep your doors locked and do not leave valuables in the car at anytime that you are not there . You never know better safe then sorry .
Beautiful viewpoint of Port Angeles, the ocean/Sound, and Canada across the way, especially at sunset. Would be nice if there were benches for relaxing; otherwise, chilling on the rocks or in your car is how it goes. Not sure about this being a bird preserve....only saw seagulls
Sunset. Scenic.. Seals, otters
Fabulous service At Seven Brother Restaurant best juicy stakes I had in a long time. Easy parking with beautiful native todem poles surrounding the building.
At first it appeared rather vacant of many birds except Seagulls. Eventually there were Mandarins, Common Merganser, Buffleheads, and possibly a Loon. It was slow going though.
Lol itss the bridge to canadia
Great place to walk and the boat ramps are usable during almost all tides.
This was a beautiful place to look at the ocean.
Hard to find at first. You have to keep driving straight on the shore road past the marinas and through the paper mill (?), and then youll find it. We saw lots of seals resting on the logs in the water.
Very industrial, but we saw a group of Harlequin ducks, several black oyster catchers, many other birds, and a half dozen harbor seals. Well worth a stop here.
Excellent place for a walk or to visit some seals if your lucky!Look for the Giant starfish...amazing!
Beautiful views Been coming here since I was a kid.
Always a great outing for visitors.
GOURGOUS ABSOLUTELY GOURGOUS
It was a peaceful place to eat a meal and meet crazy cat lady. There are a lot of cats there that she feeds and names. Great skipping stones as well!!
Came from Seattle to bike out to the end. So much glass on the road that I ended up with flat tire one third of the way there.
