Washington State Parks, in cooperation with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will temporarily close a 4-mile stretch of beach from Warrenton Cannery Road to Cranberry Beach Road to motorized vehicles from July 3 to July 5.
This closure includes the beach at Grayland State Park, though the beach will be accessible to park visitors via footpaths from the campground and day use area.
The restriction will start on Wednesday, July 3 at midnight and go through July 5 at 11:59 p.m.
Much of the area is currently closed for personal use to protect the nesting areas of the Snowy Plover. The closure to motorized vehicles during the Fourth of July fireworks will provide additional protection for this already endangered species.
