Westport, WA 98595

Westport is less than 3 hours from over 5 million people, many of whom now value an escape destination they can drive to rather than fly. Our community lacks modern lodging currently having only 60 year old fishing motels and a handful of vacation rentals. Annual occupancy rate on the nightly rentals has gone from 40% pre-pandemic to 85% post-pandemic. This property offers the opportunity to build a medium hotel with dramatic ocean views and immediate beach and marina access with ZERO lodging competition! City infrastructure and 50' height possibility located on the closest ocean beach to millions of people (closer than Ocean Shores and much closer than Long Beach or Seabrook). Your future guests can walk to the marinafront lined with shops and restaurants, walk to get on charter fishing boats or walk to the beach and the best surfing in the Pacific Northwest! Ground floor parking with lobby and 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor rooms with views and high speed internet! Whether working remotely or escaping the stress of city life, this property is ideal for a very large demographic of financially strong beach lovers. ON CONSTRUCTION - Westport is a "one stop permitting shop". You can get all of the departments involved with permitting in a room to discuss things with less than a two week notice. This small fishing community was formerly known as the "Salmon Fishing Capitol of the World" with 5,000 -10,000 people showing up to fish and drink every day, all summer long! In the 80's fishing got rolled back and even though you can still hop on a charter boat and catch a salmon in Westport... there are 40 boats operating not 300 as was the case in the mid 70's. Despite the fact that Westport has the best surfing in WA, OR or B.C. and our 18 miles of pristine sandy beach are easy to access, our community has lacked the lodging development to complement these unique attributes. Another exciting fact about our area is there is currently an 18 hole Scottish Links golf course being proposed on 500 acres of oceanfront property inside the city limits and just minutes away from this property! Having a championship golf course in addition to the fishing, surfing and beach already here will be the icing on the cake and put Westport on the national map! You really have to see this property and the community to appreciate how "underdeveloped" a coastal town can be. It is a blast from the past with no franchises... just owner operated shops, fresh air, fresh seafood and all just a couple hours from the masses. Why not come take a look?
