Clamming is one of several popular activities
in the South Beach area.

Westport
Wipeout
Coming from Eastern Washington, the only image
I had of surfers came from beach flicks and The Brady Bunch in
Hawaii. They spent countless hours in the ocean, yelling "Cowabunga"
and looking much like Greg Brady with outstretched arms, easily
gliding on the large waves.
So, when I decided to try surfing at Westport, I figured it'd
be easy. I'd wipe out a few times, get back up and be riding
like a pro in no time. I was wrong.
Just another day of bottom
fishing in Westport
Bobbing on the Pacific Ocean, with land a distant
view to the left, the crew of Saturday's trip aboard Deep Sea
Charters' Slammer had one goal in mind. It wasn't Moby Dick and
it wasn't discovering new lands. On this day, the 17 fishers
aboard the 42-foot ship's white decks, sipping endless cups of
coffee and smoking packs of cigarettes, simply wanted a relaxing
day of Westport bottom fishing.
