Overview

Damon Point is a kitesurfing spot at the southeastern tip of the Ocean Shores peninsula, at the entrance of Grays Harbor in Washington State. This sand point offers access to the inner harbor side, more sheltered than the ocean beach of Ocean Shores. However, tidal currents at the Grays Harbor entrance are extremely powerful and dangerous. The spot offers views of the harbor entrance and Westport jetty. Advanced level required.
