**Overview**
Olsen's Marina in Sekiu provides a four-lane boat ramp with dedicated parking areas, offering reliable public access to the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Clallam Bay. This is a popular launch point for both motorized vessels and paddlers exploring the northern Washington coast.
**Access & Conditions**
Located just off Highway 112 at Milepost 57 (turn north on Freshwater Bay Road and proceed approximately 2.7 miles), the ramp serves as a primary gateway to the strait's waters. The immediate area around Clallam Bay is relatively protected and shallow, making it suitable for kayakers and canoeists, particularly calmer days. The site attracts sport fishermen year-round, including winter blackmouth salmon fishing. Stand-up paddle boarders also use the area. Be prepared for variable coastal weather and wind conditions common to the Strait of Juan de Fuca region.
**Nearby Resources**
The launch provides convenient access to local attractions including the Caves area, which is just offshore. A county park with beach access is located at the site, and nearby amenities support a range of water activities and fishing opportunities.
