Cleanwater Classic Surfing Competition

Each May wetsuit clad warriors migrate to Westport (like shorebirds) to attend this 3 day contest and enjoy some of the tastiest waves in the Pacific Northwest. Sponsored by Surfrider Foundation... this wonderful spectator sport will show off surfing talent from age 6 to 66 as the various divisions take turns displaying their technique at the beach in Westhaven Park. New events this year includes a "Stand Up Paddle" race friday afternoon at The Cove as well as a "Costumed Surfer" competition sunday (hilarious).

Join in if you like or simply rent equipment and sign up for lessons at one of the local surf shops. You're never too old to try out this "lifetime sport". To find out more info on the competition CLICK HERE To check out one of our favorite surf shops... CLICK HERE

Westport Marina Facelift

Work is underway on Westhaven Drive, the marina main street. The street is being completely redone from Dock St on the south all the way to Neddie Rose Dr by the observation tower!

The road will become very "pedestrian friendly" as it goes from the past 2 lane / 2 way street to the new 1 lane / 1 way street with bike lane and gracious pedestrian crosswalks. Added into the project are additional storm drains to help move seawater when the winter storms decide to come over the revetment wall... as well as new sidewalks along many of the store fronts.

All in all the improvements will be FANTASTIC and a pleasure to stroll on... or drive along. Most of the shops are still open... with access from the large parking lots in the back of the buildings. Come see for yourself soon!

in the meantime... return to this gallery for updated pictures of the progress
