About
Moclips, Sunset Beach is a public ocean beach in Washington, about a mile from the town of Moclips. It's a simple stop with parking on site and no fee to visit.

Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 69 to 70°F, with only about seven wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 days a month. For more time outdoors, the Seabrook Perimeter Trail is about 2.7 miles away. Paddlers can head to the Moclips River, about 3.4 miles off, or to Wreck Creek and Joe Creek, both within about 5 miles.
