Port Angeles sits at the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a historic seaside town alive with art, culture, and adventure. Framed by Olympic Mountains, lush rainforest, and sparkling beaches, it’s the gateway to Olympic National Park and Hurricane Ridge, offering hiking, camping, and even one of the last ski areas in a national park. Beyond the park, the town buzzes with seafood festivals, art walks, historic underground tours, and over 135 miles of the Olympic Discovery Trail. A quick ride on the Coho Ferry takes travelers to Victoria, B.C., for whale watching and stunning mountain views. The waterfront district is a hub of shops, craft breweries, restaurants, and events—from summer concerts on the pier to the farmers market. Cyclists and hikers can explore trails along Ediz Hook, Lake Crescent, and secret mountain bike paths. Beaches, rivers, and waterfalls invite kayaking, tidepooling, and birding. | Port Angeles honors the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, weaving centuries of Indigenous heritage into the town’s identity. From the Elwha-Klallam Museum and the ʔaʔkʷustəŋáw̕txʷ House of Learning to tribal canoe journeys, public potlatches, and cultural events, visitors experience art, storytelling, and traditions that connect the community deeply to the land and its first peoples. #AmericasFavoriteSmallTowns
