Cranberry Coast Scenic Byway is a 52-mile drive along Washington's southwestern Pacific shoreline, from the fishing port of Westport to South Bend. South Bend calls itself the "Oyster Capital of the World." The byway takes its name from the cranberry bogs that have grown wild, and later been cultivated, along this stretch of coast for generations, with working bogs still visible around Grayland. Between the two endpoints the road passes through the small communities of Tokeland and Raymond, alternating views of open beach, sheltered bays, and quiet tidal flats along Willapa Bay. Westport itself is a working fishing harbor known for its charter fleet and lighthouse, while South Bend's oyster industry, drawing on the clean waters of Willapa Bay, gives the drive's eastern end a distinct working-waterfront character. It's a low-key, unhurried coastal route rather than a dramatic cliffside drive, better suited to slow stops at beaches and oyster shacks than to fast sightseeing.
