Hiking High Dune Trail

Access this ADA accessible trail from the parking area at Chance A La Mer. Enjoy this meandering paved trail across the sandy landscape, catching distance glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. Note: there is no ADA accessible path to the beach from the end of this trail as it runs parallel to the coastline.

WTA Pro Tip: Despite a large sign claiming it is a state park posted at the parking area, this area is in fact managed by the City of Ocean Shores and is a city trail, not a state park. No Discover Pass is required to park here.
