What can I see and do at Neah Bay?
- Surfing and Kite Surfing: Hobuck Beach is a surfing and kite-surfing hot spot in the summer. In the winter, surfing moves inside the entrance of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
- Scuba Diving and Snorkling: The combination of clear waters and a rich diversity of ocean life make Neah Bay a fantastic place for diving enthusiasts. Keep your eyes open for prehistoric fossils buried in the rocky sediment!
- Sport Fishing and Marine Tours: With its deep waters, Neah Bay is a secret spot for sport fishermen. With its excellent moorage, access to the straits and ocean without going over a river bar, you can bring your own boat or hire one of Neah Bay’s many certified fishing charter operators. Neah Bay is home to record breaking salmon fishing.
- Kayaking: Kayaking is a great way to explore Neah Bay’s kelp forests, sea caves, sea stacks, and pristine beaches.
- Wildlife Watching: Neah Bay is the summer nesting ground for hundreds of species of birds. Bald eagles are so prolific here that the village hosts them a “Welcome Back” party every April when they return to Neah Bay to nest. Another summer visitor is the gray whale; pods often come close to shore in the morning. Walruses, sea otters, and puffins are residents year round.
- Makah Cultural and Research Center: Containing a comprehensive collection of artifacts, including canoes, weavings, baskets, and a replica of a native long house, a visit to the Makah Cultural and Research Center is a great way to understand the native culture in the Northwest. Admission to the Makah Cultural and Research Center is $5 and is open daily from 10 am - 5 pm.
