| Map of State Highway 112 and Neah Bay |
Spanish explorers landed in Neah Bay in 1791,
establishing a fort that lasted five months.
Today’s explorers can take in panoramas of Neah Bay Harbor, Vancouver
Island, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Koitiah Point, three miles west of
Neah Bay on State Highway 112. Farther
west is Cape Flattery, where a thirty-minute hike will bring you to the most
northwestern point in the contiguous United States.
Neah Bay’s Native American heritage is preserved at the
Makah Indian Reservation and headquarters.
Seasonal wildlife viewing opportunities abound on the reservation –
eagles, falcons and hawks, grey whales and trumpeter swans – and there are
excellent fishing opportunities in the bay.
I’m completely indebted to AAA’s Tour Book
Guide – Washington for this information.
Again, another Washington destination on our list of places to explore.
Wow, that is someplace I'd find fascinating!!
