Neah Bay, WA

Neah Bay Indian Reservation, Washington

Once I made my way back through Neah Bay, it was almost too dark to take any more pictures.  Neah Bay's most scenic feature is the water that surrounds it.  As for the town itself, it's a run-down, depressing place, that's obviously consumed by poverty.  I didn't see any motels or restaurants in town, nice enough to recommend.  That's a shame, because it seems this community could do more to capitalize on its two biggest tourist draws: Cape Flattery, and sport fishing.

Tip:

One attraction in Neah Bay is worth visiting: the modern museum run by the Makah Indians.  You'll pass it on your way into Neah Bay.

A view of town, from the outskirts.  You can't see much, because there isn't much there.

As you climb the hill on the way out of Neah Bay, a small roadside turnout provides this view.  This is also the last place you'll have cell-phone coverage, until Clallam Bay, so if you haven't called your friends to tell them you've survived your trip to the northwestern corner of the country, do it now.

Tip:

The Makah tribe made news a few years back, when it was granted permission to hunt and kill whales, as part of its tribal rituals.
