WOOHOO! It's getting busier in town, and that means one thing - the party has begun!

We wish you the SAFEST and best Fourth of July ever - but wanted to share a few bits of information to help you enjoy it responsibly.

Please obey all laws regarding fireworks, clean up and leave the beaches cleaner than you found them, and be mindful of others in your area.

Happy Independence Day!

Some valuable tips for a safe & sane while still fun 4th of July in Ocean Shores.

Celebrating the 4th of July at Ocean Shores attracts many excited visitors of all ages. A sharp eye and adhere to all the fire rules can help keep everyone safe.
Please be aware that we do not have a surf rescue team in our city and there are no lifeguards on the beach.
Parents, please stay close to your children. Small ones should be within arm’s length. Keep a weather eye on older, more adventurous kids, too. It doesn’t take long for the ocean to overwhelm overly confident kids.
Be aware of the tide schedules
We recommend everyone who enters the water wears a life jacket.
Keep a blanket handy - our water is cold all year round!
Follow the campfire and fireworks rules.
Let’s make this 4th of July a safe and happy celebration for all!

More information on Fourth of July!

In the mood for a cozy campfire? You don’t need a permit for a “s’mores-sized” fire.

Just keep in mind the following rules:
* Use only dry, seasoned firewood
* Don’t make the fire larger than 3 feet across
* Never leave a fire unattended
* Extinguish with water when done
* Do NOT bury fires on the beach - this can cause serious injury to others!
