Westport Light State Park is a 212-acre day-use park on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. The park offers a panoramic view of the sea. The historic Westport Lighthouse is adjacent to the park. A concrete boardwalk traverses the primary dune, connecting this park with Westhaven State Park, 1.3 miles away. This park offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and easy pedestrian access to the beach. The Westport Lighthouse, for which the park was named, stands on adjacent Coast Guard property. A boardwalk connects the park with Westhaven State Park, 1.3 miles away. The beach is suitable for many improvised games. An ADA hiking trail, which is actually a concrete boardwalk along the beach, connects this park with Westhaven State Park 1.3 miles away. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are illegal on the beach and dunes. Swimming in the ocean is not advised due to variable currents or rip tides. The park provides 15 unsheltered picnic tables and one restroom for day-use visitors. Flip-top braziers are located at picnic sites, which are all first-come, first-served. The park is named for the historic Westport Lighthouse (also called Grays Harbor Lighthouse) built in 1898 and adjacent to the park on Coast Guard property. The lighthouse was built as a navigational aide for Point Chehalis at the south entrance to Grays harbor.
