Ocean Crest Resort sits on the bluff above Moclips Beach with views stretching up and down the coast and out to the Pacific horizon. It's the most significant lodging and dining establishment in the immediate area and the best reason for non-camping visitors to stay in Moclips rather than in the more developed Ocean Shores to the south.
The resort restaurant has a reputation for well-prepared Pacific Northwest seafood and a wine list better than the surroundings might suggest. Even non-guests can eat here. The resort also has an indoor pool, spa, and fitness facilities — useful on the rainy days that account for much of the West Coast year. The bluff-top location gives one of the best sunset-watching spots on this stretch of coast, with nothing between you and Japan.
