Introducing the Dungeness Spit5.5 miles of the dungeness.jpg

 

February 24th, we took our granddaughter to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge in Sequim to explore the 5.5 miles of beach that jets out into the Straights of Juan de Fuca. 

"At Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, one of the world's longest natural sand spits softens the rough sea waves to form a quiet bay and harbor; sand and gravel beaches, and tideflats. Eelgrass beds in the bay and harbor provide food for Pacific black brant and a nursery for young salmon and steelhead.  Tideflats teem with migrating shorebirds in spring and fall; flocks of waterfowl find food and rest in these protected waters during the winter."

Being a spit rookie, I didn't consider that it might not be safe to walk while the tide is high and coming in further, but I am really looking forward to going back.  If you are not familiar with Sequim, it is considered the "Sun Belt" of Western Washington.

 

I can't wait to go back.
