There’s never a bad time to plan a visit to Oyhut Bay Seaside Resort, but there’s something extra fun about planning a summer escape. Our resort is the perfect home base for everyone, from families looking to create memories while school’s out to couples hoping to spend quality time together. One of the best times to plan your summer vacation to Ocean Shores is over the 4th of July. Visiting our Washington town during this popular summer holiday means there’s even more to do and see during your getaway.
What to Do in Ocean Shores on an Independence Day Vacation

There are plenty of ways to spend your 4th of July vacation, including at Oyhut Bay. Celebrate the holiday by watching or taking part in our annual pet parade! Visit our website for more information, including how to participate. We will also have live music and more!
No 4th of July is complete without a colorful fireworks display! Fireworks are allowed on the beach from the Damon Road approach to the Marine View Drive approach. You may not set off fireworks in the city or on the Dune Trail. There are other restrictions if you want to shoot fireworks, including when you can set them off.
In between all the festive celebrations, spend time checking out some of the must-try things to do in Ocean Shores during the summer.
- Escape the crowds and explore local hiking trails, like the Perkins Pond Nature Trail or the Copalis River Spit Trail.
- Soak in the sunshine on a beach day at Ocean City State Park.
- Stop by Ocean Shores Kites to grab a new colorful kite and see how long you can keep it in the air.
- Cool off with a sweet treat from Peppermint Parlor, which is attached to Playtime Family Fun.
- Check out one of our rental bikes and go for a relaxing ride. You never know what you might find exploring town on two wheels.
