Review:
Dungeness Spit offers an 11-mile round-trip hike along the Olympic Peninsula’s northern coast, located along the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Port Angeles. The 6.8-mile sand spit is the United States’ longest naturally-occurring spit, enclosing the Dungeness Bay, and is contained within Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Hikers can explore sites at the spit’s public beach end such as the historic New Dungeness Lighthouse, which was once staffed by the United States Coast Guard and now offers a small museum exhibit and picnic area. Along the way, the spit showcases lush canopy forests and serves as a popular spot for shorebird watching.
