Did you know that Port Williams was once a town with its own post office, hotel, and wharf? What is now a simple county park with a boat ramp was once the bustling center of commerce for east Clallam County. Join us for this 2.5 mile-roundtrip beach walk while we “peel” this onion of history, exploring its many layers and transformations.
