Description: Former island connected to mainland by sand spit at mouth of Grays Harbor. Pets are allowed only on very first part of the walk on island. Check tides, surf and weather before and on the day you take the walk at

Point Brown Tides

********************************* Please Note *********************************

Avoid this walk at times of high winds and storms - especially in conjunction
with high tides - as it is possible for water to wash over the narrow section
of the peninsula, cutting off access back to the mainland.

This condition can add significant drama to the walk.
