Beachcombing Exhibit

The Washington Coast makes beachcombers out of all of us. In our beachcombing exhibit, we invite visitors to discover what all the beach has to offer, and how they can help protect it for years to come.

We have a wide variety of treasures from the natural to the man made. There is a cabinet full of shells, agates, sand dollars, and more; open the drawers and have a look! On the man made side, we have plastic debris, fishing floats, and the beachcombing find of a lifetime—a 3’ tall statue of Ebisu, one of the Japanese Gods of Fortune.
