New Destination Grays Harbor guide available April 3


Destination Grays Harbor, a 96-page tourism guide that will be distributed around the region, including on Washington ferries, will be be available beginning April 3.


The glossy, full-color publication was created by Sound Publishing newspapers on Grays Harbor — The Daily World, South Beach Bulletin, North Coast News and Vidette.


It’s the first year the four papers have combined efforts on the tourism guide. The guide has color-coded indexes to make it easy to find information about the various geographic areas of the county — eastern Grays Harbor County, the inner harbor communities of Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Cosmopolis, and the South Beach and North Beach.


The center pages of the guide feature an easy-to-read and detailed map of the area.


Each section of Destination Grays Harbor includes features, historical facts as well as useful information regarding parks and recreation, festivals and events.


There are lists of attractions that, ostensibly, “only the locals know about, ” designed to help tourists get off the beaten path and experience the local flavor so they can appreciate and understand why people live here.


There’s also a list of some of the best places to take a photo around Grays Harbor. We will share these photos with a slide show online on our newspaper websites. Then, we’ll pick 12 winners and publish a pictorial calendar for 2016.


And thanks to Grays Harbor Tourism and the county Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, the publication will be distributed on the Washington Ferries. The guide is complimentary and will be available April 3.


Guides will be distributed at more than 70 brochure racks located in hotels, visitor centers, and at select attractions throughout the region.
