Public Beaches Not Private Greens
Westport Light State Park, along with the Westport Jetty, stands as one of Washington State Parks' premier natural assets and the state's leading beach access point for surfing. The Westport Jetty attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, offering a world-class destination for surfing, clam-digging, birdwatching, kiteboarding, fishing, rock hounding, and relaxing. The beaches and jetty area are particularly popular with surfers from across the Pacific Northwest, providing consistent, high-quality waves that are both accessible and challenging for all skill levels.
The proposed Westport Golf Links (WGL) project, could change that. We have a lot of concerns about the impacts on water quality and availability, unique coastal wetlands, and public beach access, as well as future impacts of sea level rise and whether the community will be on the hook to pay for those.
The Surfrider Foundation is committed to fostering a just, equitable, diverse and inclusive organization for all people who protect and enjoy the world’s ocean, waves and beaches.
