Explore Downtown Port Angeles

Urban Adventuring Through the Downtown Waterfront District in Port Angeles, Washington

Stroll, shop, dine and drink through the Port Angeles’ walkable downtown and waterfront. 

Spend a full day frolicking around downtown Port Angeles.

Your urban explorer side may want to shop and stroll downtown Port Angeles searching for vintage treasures from several antique stores. Maybe a new handbag -- or a backpack -- from a boutique, or a handmade gift for a friend?

Next, visit the Feiro Marine Life Center to gaze at a sea life that's only found off our coastal waters. Or, gaze out over the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the City Pier to spot otters and even whales. Better yet, reserve a whale watching tour from the Port Angeles Wharf between May and September for (almost) guaranteed whale sightings.

Save time for art spotting for sculptures and murals throughout downtown and along the waterfront. Follow the mural trail map, or see if you can find them all on your own. Then walk through the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center and Webster’s Woods Art Park for an outdoor art experience like no other. Have a couple of hours to spare? Get a glimpse of Port Angeles’ past and some of its juicy secrets with a guided Port Angeles Underground Heritage Tour. Tours operate year-round.

Your foodie side is eager to get a taste of Port Angeles by sampling fresh seafood. Head to the Fish & Crab Shack, Downriggers on the Water, or Kokopelli Grill for seasonal seafood along with the staples -- chowder, salmon fish and chips, locals oysters, and Dungeness crab. Pick up some in-season healthy snacks from local farms to fuel your day from the year-round farmers market every Saturday, then sip heritage wine in a 125 year-old barn followed by gourmet burgers and beer for a casual dinner out.
