Olympic Peninsula Travel
Region
Neah Bay, Washington
Neah Bay is located at the northwest
tip of the Olympic Peninsula in
Washington state, and is home to the
Makah Indian Nation. Overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the town of 900
people is situated on one of the most remote and breathtaking coastlines of
Washington. Neah Bay can be reached by traveling west on U.S. Highway 101
from Port Angeles or north
from the small town of Forks.
Neah Bay is best known for its sports
fishing and eco-tourism industry. The waters off Washington’s northwestern
coast offer some of the best halibut fishing in the Continental United
States. There are several local fishing haunts in the area, but the best way
to take advantage of the area’s offerings is to hire a local guide. Fishing
guides for halibut, ling cod, sea bass and other types of ocean fishing can
be found either in Neah Bay or nearby Port Angeles.
Neah Bay’s Makah Museum, which also serves
as an archeological research center, showcases artifacts from the Makah’s
3,800-year history. Visitors can experience a replica long house and learn
about the Indian tribe’s early life at the historic Lake Ozette, which is in
the process of being excavated by the museum.
Many visitors to Neah Bay are drawn to the
area by the Cape Flattery Trail, a three-quarter-mile hike to the tip of
Cape Flattery, on the Makah Indian Reservation. The Cape looks out over
Tatoosh Island and Mushroom Rock, and the trail affords breathtaking views
of some of the Peninsula’s most spectacular scenery.
Neah Bay is also relatively close to the
Olympic National Park, which sits
at the center of the Peninsula. Hiking, alpine and Nordic skiing and
wildlife viewing are prime attractions here. Visitors require a park pass to
hike or camp in the park.
