While the sand and waves are big reasons to go the coast, there is more to Grays Harbor than just beach! We have an incredible mix of artists that find our lovely corner of the world their muse for fantastic creations. Take a trip to any or all of these places to find a piece that speaks to you. Bonus, art galleries are a great place to wander when the weather turns and it’s too chilly to walk the beach. Check out these Grays Harbor art galleries on the Washington Coast.
