Sea Glass - Ediz Hook, Port Angeles, WA - Sea Glass

Ediz Hook is a one & a half mile spit. North side of spit is fairly good, although picked over pretty hard by mid-summer.

Former dump location nearby feeds the spit with all kinds of treasures.

I have found 40+ marbles at this beach over the past 2 years. Winter is best, if you can stand the weather.

How would you rate this beach for
sea glass?: Good (6-15 jewelry grade pcs. found per hour)

------------------

Wow! Sounds great! And to think that Lin and I lived in Port Angeles for two years and drove by Ediz Hook several times a week.

But that was a long time ago, before our sea glass odyssey began.

Now, when we do go visit, it seems like it is either to a funeral or wedding...so no time for the beach there. However, we definitely will be planning a trip there just for the beaches.

GO KART TRACK
by: Randy Millholland

One of the comments was did anyone remember the go kart track that was where the ball fields are located next to Lincoln Park.

I raced at the track from around 1960 to 1963. That was a great childhood memory. Nickname was Magoo Millholland No. 10

Marbles
by: Harley

YES!!!! Marbles "count" as sea glass and they are my favorite sea glass to find.

Its a great day of glassing when you find a marble, and a few times I have 5-marble days.

Congrats on your finds!

Found marbles
by: Lynn

I've found quite a few marbles recently at the Spit.

Do they count as Sea Glass? I've never really known what Sea Glass was until I moved to Port Angeles recently.

Beautiful place.

We just did the old dump beach last Sunday and didn't find anything worth mentioning. It was only my second time to that beach and I have to say I was disappointed. The hook is probably your better bet. But if you decide you HAVE to check it out, drive out W. 18th street, all the way to the cemetery. Drive to the NW corner of the cemetery (open field west of the plots in use). You will find a little trail by 2 large cement blocks. Tides are iffy down there too, but good luck!!

Thanks - Port Angeles Sea Glass
by: Christy

Hi,
thanks for the details, Michelle, I will email you later.

anyone know how to access the area of the old dump site "legally" (since tides won't be low enough?)

PORT ANGELES KART CLUB

Does anyone remember the go kart track at Lincoln Park? It is where the ball fields are now. I owned the track record in "63".

OLD MEMORIES
by: B.J.

I can remember as a child before moving from P.A. In the late 50's the dump was somewhere west of the fairgrounds. I remember my father backing up to the cliff and dumping straight off into the ocean. Imagine doing that now! At that time it was the only dumpsite that I can remember.

For Christy
by: Harley

Hey Christy,

As you're driving thru Port Angeles, stay on Front street all the way thru town, past the truck route, and the road turns into Marine Drive. Follow that all the way to the end of the hook. The Coast Guard gate will tell you if you've gone too far. lol Park anywhere out there and walk the north side of the hook, not the beach on the inside of the harbor. It is kind of picked over this late in the summer, but you just never know. The old dump site is a couple miles west of the hook and I've found good stuff on all the nearby beaches. Unless the tide is really really low, you can't walk the beach to the old dump site from the hook. Feel free to e-mail me directly anytime. michelle@poeinc.com

Ediz Hook
by: Christy

Wondering where the dump site was located? Headed out to Sequim in September, with less than optimal tides, and wondering where to park, and where to focus efforts?
thanks

Memories
by: B.J.

Grew up there and left for Tennessee in 63. I remember walking the logs while my father fished. That's when all the paper mills were still up and running. Great childhood.
