My husband and I have been taking lessons from BigFoot Surf School for the past three summers, and we look forward to our weekend with Shaun and his crew each year. Learning to surf can be scary! But, learning to surf with BigFoot has provided me with the confidence and knowledge to feel safe in the water, and in control of the board - this is 100% due to their teaching model and the quality of the coaching staff. Check them out, you will have THE MOST FUN!

10/10 - GO SURF WITH THESE GUYS NOW!…read more Our 7 year old dreams of being a big wave surfer so we took a family trip to Westport and signed up for lessons with BigFoot Surf. All 3 of us loved it so much, we've been back for lessons several more times. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable, safety oriented and incredibly fun to spend time with. Coaches are clearly skilled and can help anyone at all levels from beginners to advanced. Our family is hooked and counting down to next season.

I've purchased four boards and numerous wetsuits as well as other equipment from them over the past four decades. They treat customers fairly and stand behind the products they sell.

The price for day rentals is such a value as well. Extra bonus that they've got a wood burning stove inside the shop to warm up to while we cleaned and checked all our gear back in. Super excited to get back to Westport and visit The Surf Shop!

It was really hard to put a blanket down because the wind kept threatening to carry it away. This would be great on another day, but I don't know if it's ever not windy.

We loved watching jellyfish and seeing Sea Lions right off the dock! We love Half-Moon Beach for the waves, the rock-hunting and how natural it is. The path from the observation tower to the end of the beach is well maintained and easy walking. We also loved watching the boats - even the HUGE ships in the bay! My family loves Westport and highly recommend it for a stay or a day trip if you're in the area!!

"Westport is where I live, and so I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you to COME VISIT!!…read more Westport is the red headed stepchild of Washington Beaches, never promoted as a beach city, it is the last place most people in Seattle think of when they think of the beach. But you will not regret coming here (especially if you were considering going to Ocean Shores!) The 18 miles of sandy beaches that stretch from Westport to Tokeland is otherwise known as the South Beach is everything you would want in a Pacific Northwest Beach. Whether you're looking for a fishing adventure, beautiful beaches, surfing, kite flying, whale watching, crabbing, or just relaxing, the South Beach is the place to be. In the summer, you can beat it to beat the heat. It's not overdeveloped, in fact its quite understated. The marina district has a nice mixture of upscale restaurants (we got our first sushi restaurant, yay!) and hole-in-the-wall diners. Fishing is still a very important part of the community, and if you've ever wanted to try a fishing charter, you can do that from July 1 until the quotas are met for less than a round of drinks in downtown Seattle. Surfing is huge here, at Westhaven State Park and Half Moon Bay. There are 2 surf shops in town (Steepwater Surf Shop, and The Surf Shop) that can outfit you with a wetsuit and a board for under $50. A lesson will cost a little more, but not by much. Bikes and paddleboats are available for rent down on the water. Kites can be purchased for just a few dollars and can keep your kids busy for hours. In the spring and fall, watch the WDFW to see when the beaches are open for clamming. During crab season, you can drop your crab pots right off of the fisherman's boardwalk - no boats required. Starting in September, the salmon that were released by the local high school class start to return to the Marina, and you can fish right off the boardwalk and participate in the Salmon Derby. There is all kinds of old fashioned fun here. It's perfect for a romantic getaway or a family trip. Day trips and overnighters. There is everything from campgrounds to low budget motels, to luxury condos. All only 2 hours from Sea Tac!"

The two hour lesson on a windy day with a marine layer while the rest of the state was 70 degrees plus was so good that the weather was not even noticed. Cute little location. Excellent web site. If you're hankering to try surfing, highly recommend this little gem in Long Beach.

I was excited to rent some surf gear and drove over an hour away to do so. I checked their website…read moreand it says they were open 7 days a week during the time I went and during working hours. When I got there it was closed and no sign of anyone. Called their phone a bunch of times, knocked on the door, and even left an email. Never received a single message... Google, Apple Maps, and their website all had totally different business hours. Their own website even has 2 different working hour infos... Definitely will never do business with them. On the bright side, I ended up going to Seaside in Oregon to a surf shop called "seaside surf shop". It was an extra hour drive but at least they had everything we needed and helped us out immediately. That's what a good surf shop does.

The drive on the beach turns towards the left. Went quite a ways down with cars lines up. Lots of kites and picnics. Sand seemed pretty packed down, which made the drive great! The beach was clean, and the fresh air was nice. You can also hike to the left, and it was peaceful and not as busy. The entrance also has parking, porta-potty, and one garbage can outside of the porta-potty. The upkeep on the porta-potty needs to be updated. It's disgusting, and the beach is such a nice location. I'm giving a five-star since this beach brings all the amazing PNW to one location. Beautiful bluffs, green landscape, and the amazing beach....Just wait until the next town to go to the bathroom. We will be returning again soon.

It filled my hopes that there's still parts of the earth that are untouched and yet to be hit by consumerism or tourism. We could drive straight on to the sand which was surreal, and even got to go clamming. In the evening (low tide) people come from all over the state to try their hand at clamming. Tip: you need to get a clam license beforehand and that will limit the amount of clams you can snag from the beach (you also bring your own equipment). The sunset is gorgeous, as it reflects on the puddles of water on the beach. Highly recommend.
