Great scones but get there before they run out. They don't take reservations, and it's a small place, so you might have to wait in line for a litlte bit, although usually not very long. A favorite with locals.

Wildlife area. The longest natural sand spit in North America. The Dungeness Spit just north of Sequim boasts breathtaking views, rich maritime history and an abundance of wildlife.

Hiking the Dungeness Spit is a rewarding experience for all levels of physical ability.
The Dungeness Recreation Area is the place to start your adventure. The Clallam County Park sits atop a bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The park offers camping, picnic areas, and miles of equestrian and pedestrian trails, and wildlife. Just northwest of the recreation area you’ll find the Dungeness Spit gate. A $3 entry fee covers a group up to four people and provides access to 11 miles of hiking. Be sure to pack food and water, and check the tides before you go. Volunteers are on hand to offer helpful tips and guidance.
