Located on a peninsula at the mouth of Grays Harbor, Westport has the largest marina on the outer coast of the Pacific Northwest, which is home to a large commercial fishing fleet and recreational fishing vessels. Westport is home to the largest fish landing port on the continental U.S. West Coast.

Charter boats offer fishing and whale watching during the gray whale season, which normally lasts from early March through May. You can sometimes spot juvenile whales swimming inside Grays Harbor with binoculars from the observation tower in Westport. A scenic boardwalk is located at the dock area in Westport at the very end of Neddie Rose Drive.
