port of ilwaco boardwalk

This harbor is one over my favorite The people that are working g there are very friendly .And if you play your cards right you can buy fresh fish right off the boat as they come inWon't find any better

During the offseason there are great views and a great stroll. Yarn shop, book store, art galleries and food. During summer there are weekend markets, fishing charters, and an abundance of food options.

The varieties of crafts on display in countless little booths during market days, extends the walking tour, as creative curiosity stops are frequent. The watercraft, fishing boats are always enjoyable to observe at dock or in transit to/from harbor. Prolific wild Ducks were once another attraction, now banished for their own safety from dogs. Dining choices, novelty shopping (Marine themed gallery) are dwindling ('Harbor Lights' is for sale), as the formerly vibrant economy of the USA falters and sputters for various reasons.

This is a great stop after a visit to Cape Disappointment (not disappointing at all). Well-attended Farmers Market with better than average Kettle Corn.

I'd go back in a heartbeat. There's not a lot but it's also not crowded. We wish we had eaten there and bought fish at Jessie's or sportsmans but alas we didn't get a chance. Beautiful to look at the port from above.

We got there a little late to enjoy the shops but did get some great pictures with the fog rolling in.

If you are looking for fresh fish, cooked crab, or crab cakes, this is the place to go. Especially recommended: the crab cakes from Ol. Bob's.

After traveling up the coast of Washington we stopped to get a Hot Dog for lunch. The Saturday Market was in effect at this time. We walked the craft vendors and it was a warm day. There were several people enjoying the great weather and the beautiful home made crafts. The hot dog was great. Very large dog for $3.00.

The port is great on Saturday because of the quaint Saturday market, otherwise there is really nothing there. Had to go into Long Beach, only a 10 minute drive..so not bad

Quite a quaint little port with a true feel of the sea. Near to the USCG training school. There are often weekend markets and art fairs with a lot of local artisans and vendors. I have taken at least three charters out of here for salmon fishing when the season is open and and have always caught fish. The processing business located right at the dock actually ensures that you receive back YOUR fish after processing.

We went to the Saturday market and walked the boardwalk while viewing what the vendors were selling. An enjoyable, relaxing day on the boardwalk.

Visited here about five times in the last 20 years. We always come for the salmon. As far as fishing goes the boardwalk has everything we could want; public restrooms, restaurants, processing facilities, charter boats, plenty of free parking.

We were disappointed with the town of Ilwaco, WA The port along with the town was so rundown. It was a blast from the past with little upkeep.

We went here for the slow drags during the Rod Run to the End of the World. I used to go here as a child. It is a very small fishing town, not much else there.

Great walk on the working sea side harbor and great shops along the way. What a pleasure it was to walk there.
