Sea Kayak - Strait of Juan de Fuca

Meet at Clallam Bay County Park West at 8:00 a.m. to unload boats and start car shuttle.  Take out at Dakwas Park, Neah Bay Makah tribe recreational permit, $20 is required (https://makah.com/attractions/recreation-permits/).   Restrooms at nearby merchants.  Car shuttle to Neah Bay should take about an hour (30 minutes each way).    No parking pass or fees required at the Clallam Bay County Park.

Ever wanted to paddle the entire south shore of the Strait of Juan De Fuca?  Maybe not all in one trip, but several trips covering Neah Bay to Fort Warden?   How about doing this in seven sections:

Neah Bay to Clallam Bay
Clallam Bay to Twin Beach
Twin Beach to Crescent Beach
Crescent Beach to Ediz Hook
Ediz Hook to Dungeness lighthouse (Dungeness County Park)
Dungeness lighthouse to Port Williams
Port Williams to Fort Warden 

 There is no plan to do these in any particular order or direction, just try to cover each section when conditions allow.  

This trip is section one, Clallam Bay to Neah Bay paddling west to east with some current assist.  Several options for landings  but generally looking for a lunch stop at Shipwreck Point.  Wind, waves and swells may require surf  zone landings.  The goal is to cover the distance and see the sights while avoiding rock gardening obstacles as much as possible.
