Birding, Biking and Kayaking
 Sequim is an ideal place for birdwatchers. As one of North America's biggest flyways, an ever-changing variety of birds can be spotted in the valley. Sequim's location has contributed to Railroad Bridge Park being named Washington's only official Audubon site. Over 250 species of birds have been recorded at the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge on the Dungeness Spit. The local Audubon Society or the Visitor Center have maps of good spots for birding.
The Dungeness Spit and Sequim Bay are a kayaker's paradise. You can explore many of the local inlets in relatively calm waters. The Spit abounds with sea life of all types. Landings at the lighthouse are a pleasure, but limited in number by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Dept., so if you want to land there, make arrangements in advance. Call (360) 457-8451.
The Sequim Valley is wide and long with gentle hills and beautiful views of both the mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It provides excellent opportunity for both street and mountain bicycling. Generally, the roads in the valley are wide with good shoulders and not too crowded with autos or other bikers. The weather makes the valley ideal for year-round cycling. Mountain bikers have ample opportunity to try their skills on many Olympic National Forest trails and Dept. of Natural Resources roads.
