Razor Clam Season

Fun for the whole family.  These delicate, delicious clams have a huge following.  You won't believe the number of cars and trucks lined up on the Grayland beach during an opening.
722 Westport is on the Twin Harbors beach.  Openings are November 20 - 21, December 3 - 6 and December 31 - January 2.  This is of course a low tide show.  You can buy your license at the Hungry Whale convenience store.
So what is all the excitement about?  Digging clams is fun!  Eating them is even better.  Cleaning them is easy.
Join the crowd and have some fun.  Fresh air, a little exercise and a great family time; 722 Westport style!  Check our availability and reserve today!

 

The Perfect Storm!

The power of nature right outside your window!

You would be surprised how many people come to Westport to encounter a North Pacific Gale. From November through March there are dozens of gales with a handful of storms mixed in. To walk on the beach or the dune trail and feel the power of Mother Nature is invigorating; and then to retreat to 722 Westport and the comfort of an Oceanfront Master Suite? Sheer bliss!

Beach Safety

For your safety on the beach lower tide levels are best. Simple precautions include wearing appropriate clothes for the conditions, carrying a mobile phone for emergencies, staying on accessible high ground or even better the paved dune trail. Never turn your back to the ocean, avoid driftwood piles and logs, always keeping an eye out for sneaker waves, and check the forecast and tidal conditions ahead of time.

Hot Westport Fishing

Below is an excerpt from Westport Charterboat Association fishing reports!

July 21st, 2010 8:41PM

Coming home from Westport with a 14-15 pound King is a successful day in most foks view. Add a Coho or another King and hey that's a really good day! Well, how about 2 20 pounders? What do we call that? Your choice! More than just a few folks had that result today. Best of the year so far! Not everyone is catching 2 20 pounders but most all are catching 2 salmon and most are Kings and a majority of the Kings are in the upper teens dressed! I'd certainly be think about getting down her in the near future!

722 Westport had a prime 6 night period open up - August 16 - 21. Fishing is now open 7 days per week. Ever filled a freezer full of ocean protien? You can now!

Westport Albacore Tuna is in - available into Sept.

The Seafood Connection will have Albacore Tuna available this weekend! For people who want to buy tuna, I will be back in early Sunday morning or possibly sooner. You can call the store to reserve some super fresh, first of the season Albacore Tuna. The price will be $1.99 per pound for whole fish. If you want your fish filleted, there is a $3 per fish fillet charge. If you have any questions, call Rich at the store at 360-268-1628. I\'ve got to go, we just hooked three more fish!

Kings, Kites and Canning Tuna

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife reported today that the King limit has been increased to two fish. Daily limit remains two fish, one or both of which may be a marked Silver. All wild Silvers must be released.

I'm going to stick my next out and predict that within a month we will see a 7 day per week fishery and maybe even another limit raise by September. Wouldn't that be nice.

This weekend promises the Westport Windriders Kite Festival, absolutely beautiful weather and probably the first of the fresh Albacore Tuna (Seafood Connection) hitting the dock. I find myself wishing I was going to 722 Westport this weekend!

722 Westport currently has two periods left on the calendar. July 21 - 23 and August 16 - 25. For the Auaust period we are looking for a minimum of one week. If you grab all 10 we'll try and make a deal you can't refuse!

Migratory shorebird action starts in Westport this month. Surround yourself with nature at it's finest; now is the time to visit South Beach. The Gray Whales are also showing; juvenile males and young females. May will be the time the cows and calves linger.
The 15th annual Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival will be held the last weekend of April. Spring came early; the birds may too. You can enjoy the migration in our front yard during most of April and May!
Bottle Beach State Park, less than 10 minutes from 722 Westport, is an excellent place to check out at low tide. Dowitcher, Dunlin, Plover, Sandpiper and Whimbrel are plentiful. Can your kids identify them? Why not learn together. Do a school report as a family.
The serious birder knows all about palagic tours offered by Westport Seabirds. These boat trips run 35 miles due west to the edge of the contenental shelf (Grays Canyon) from Spring until Fall. Many of these birds never come to shore in this area. Think Shearwater and Albatross! And don't forget the marine mammals which you will surely see.
Calfornia Brown Pelicans? Thousands will arrive in April and May. They roost on the jetties of the Marina District but fly formation along the beach and dive in the surf all day long. At the end of the day there will be long lines of birds returning to the roost for the night. Don't worry about missing them. They'll be here into October.
722 Westport is all about nature, sport, relaxation and fine seafood. Find some time to recharge on the South Beach soon! And we want you back year after year!

March 2010

"Go Fly a Kite"

Sport - Traction - Line Laundry - Single Line - Dual and Quad Line

These are all classes of kites and all a great deal of fun. Fly kites for pure pleasure, family interaction, excercise or competition.

Little kids love kites - Big kids love kites.

South Beach is one of the best places to fly; steady, predictable breezes with little turbulence caused by structure or landscape. Charlie Brown could fly a kite here.

Have a pleasant day on the beach reading your book under your Line Laundry. When you're done having fun walk a few steps back to 722 Westport, our front row condo at Westport by the Sea.

Into something a little more adventurous? Look into riding a Kite Buggy or Kite Surfing.
There are Traction kites available for the beginner or the expert. As the wind speed and kite size increase, so does the power generated by these kites. Have fun and exercise at the same time!

Please fly safely. There are others on the beach as well and some sport kites can generate a great deal of power! Safety Message Link.

"All Things Crab!"

Feeling a bit crabby? Think "All Things Crab"!

Prime Dungeness is available from retailers and private sellers straight from the boat. Cruise the Marina District and look for the signs. You should expect to pay $5 - $7 per crab. Ask the seller to section them. You can cook about 8 pairs of section in 722's largest pot. Boil your crab for 10 minutes and cool quickly with cold water.

Commercial fishermen in Westport land about 14 million pounds of Dungeness Crab every year. Connoisseurs consider Dungeness the finest for its delicate, slightly sweet flavor. Although available all year, the motherlode of crab is landed from January - April.

There is even a Crab Race. This year it will be held on April 17th and 18th!

Shucking tools are found in 722 Westport's kitchen. Rather someone else does the work? Retailers in Westport and Tokeland will be happy to provide beautiful, fresh crab meat ready to eat as well as live and whole cooked crab!

Crab Cocktails - Crab Cakes - Crab Louie - Crab Omelets - Crab Tempura! Use your imagination and get tired of eating "All Things Crab"!
