Neah Bay is a town on the Makah Reservation in Washington. It’s a popular place for fishing and hiking to places such as Cape Flattery and Shi Shi Beach.

 

Permits

We stopped in Neah Bay to purchase our parking permits in order to visit Cape Flattery and Shi Shi Beach. This can be done at Washburn’s General Store, the Makah Tribal Mini Mart, and the museum.

 

Makah Museum

We spent a good hour at the Makah Museum, which is an excellent place to learn about the history of the Makah nation. It’s open daily with an adult admission of US$10 (as of January 2024). Photography is prohibited inside the museum.

The fascinating exhibits tell about every aspect of the Makah way of life, including fishing, hunting, basketweaving, and more. On display are several authentic artifacts, many found at an excavation site in the Ozette area. The site was inhabited until a mudslide destroyed it around 1750.

 

Bahobohosh Point

On the way to Shi Shi Beach, we stopped at Bahobohosh Point to take pictures of Hobuck Beach  to the north and the mouth of the Sooes River to the south.

Warmhouse

For lunch, we popped into the Warmhouse Restaurant, which has a nice view of the marina. I had a fish and chips meal while Marisol had the clam chowder. The fish and chips was very good but the chowder wasn’t that great. Prices were fair.
