| Ocean City State Park is a year-round, 170-acre camping park, featuring ocean beach, dunes and dense thickets of shore pine. Migratory birds may be viewed at the park, and beachcombing is a popular activity. Loops one and two have grassy areas that accommodate badmitten, croquet and volleyball. Digging for razor clams is allowed in certain areas during specified seasons and times. Rip currents, hypothermia, floating logs and unexpected high waves may pose hazards for surfers, surf fishers, swimmers and waders. Laws and hazards are posted on each beach approach. Vehicle traffic is allowed seasonally on portions of the beach. Driving is allowed only on the uppermost hard-packed sand, and all the rules of the road apply, as on a public roadway. The speed limit on the beach is 25 m.p.h. All-terrain vehicles are not allowed in the park or on the beach or dune areas. Dogsledding with wheeled sleds is allowed on the beach. The city of Ocean Shores has an 18-hole golf course. Duck Lake is located in Ocean Shores and offers fishing, skiing and boat launch facilities. Bird watching and rock collecting are popular activities at Damon Point State Park, located near the marina on the southern end of Ocean Shores. |
