Encyclopedia > Dungeness Spit

Dungeness Spit is a 5.5 mile long sand spit jutting out from the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is entirely within the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and serves as home to the Air Station Port Angeles (sometimes called Dungeness Coast Guard Station) and to the Dungeness Lighthouse.
