Have you slurped a Twin Harbors oyster lately? Probably! Nationally, one in four oysters comes from our region. There’s a clever term for the unique flavor of seafood based on the environment in which it grew: “merroir.” ("Mer" is French for "sea.") See how our local merroir shapes the flavor; try a sustainably-farmed oyster from the nutrient-rich Grays Harbor waters. Available daily in Westport!

is still happening!

Through April 30, 2026, the Westport/South Beach Historical Society will continue releasing 1000 authentic Japanese glass fishing floats along Westport beaches to be found by beachcombers like you.

What makes them authentic? “Real floats” are the ones found during tsunami cleanup in Japan and imported back to the US. Most of them are green because they’re made from recycled sake bottles.

Come for the weekend, look for your float, and don’t forget to post a pic with the hashtag when you find one!
