Dear Ocean Shores Community Club Members,
Spring is springing in the wonderful City of Ocean Shores. Members and guests visiting Bayshore Clubhouse are enjoying the music of our eaglets chirping. While walking our parks visitors see our deer grazing and looking to fawn in the coming month. Whales, unexpectedly have returned to our bay, as members report seeing an orca in early April. Mother Nature is showing her jewels in all forms and this gives me pause to ponder.
Ocean Shores Community Club is a wonderful place to relax, rejuvenate, reinvigorate, and to just have plain fun. Whatever the reason, our club reflects the true meaning of the word ‘community’; it is a derivative of the Latin word communitas meaning public spirit. This spirit was truly evident this month. Members of all ages came to enjoy our facilities and every space seemed to be bustling with joy, fun and blossoming friendships-both new and old. Truly, the public spirit is present in our Ocean Shores Community Club.
Club Updates
Spring 2025 is in full bloom here at Bayshore. The maintenance team spent several days trimming and removing the cuttings from our pampas grass. Roof work will begin shortly. We ask members to be patient and understanding while we repair and recoat the Bayshore Clubhouse roof. There may be some shifting in parking availability while the work is being completed.
Your team is also beginning preparations for the outdoor pools. We will be adding new mats to the Cabana Pool House locker rooms. Thanks to our team, we were able to get one more year out of these mats!
Our lifeguard team is growing, and we are seeking additional guards for our seasonal pool openings. Training is available along with flexible hours and a supportive team. Individuals interested in joining our team are encouraged to apply. Applications are available at our front office. Come help create a fun and safe summer for all our members and guests!
Our team is looking forward to the fall update scheduled for our fitness room. I am collecting suggestions for the room. Please email ideas and suggestions to oscommclub@coastaccess.com.
Membership in the Ocean Shores Community Club affords members and their guests a multifaceted club house with many activities and facilities offerings. Additionally, our outdoor parks and pools provide excellent places to exercise, socialize or just enjoy the outdoors. The Board of Trustees carefully examined our operational costs and the maintenance needs of our facilities. Due to rising costs and the safety addition of lifeguards at our Bayshore facility, and ongoing maintenance projects, the Board of Trustees has increased the annual dues to $195.00.
Membership Reminders
Our lifeguards are present to ensure that all members and their guests enjoy a safe environment and have positive experience. We ask all those using our water facilities to respect and honor the lifeguard requests.
The fitness room is a great place to work on stamina and strength. This space is receiving a great deal of usage. Members are asked to remember to keep all personal work items with them and wipe down machines and mats after each use. Members are also asked to speak with courtesy and respect when engaging co-users of this space. Practicing these simple requests help keep both a safe and friendly space.
Finally, children 12 and under must remain in the company of an adult when using the indoor facility and outdoor pools.

A Step Back in Time
Ice cream, cookie contests and 13 new channels were only a few highlighted events in April 1997. The Shorebird Festival was held and a new ‘helping hand’ facility opened next to our Bayshore Clubhouse. Our gardening neighbors learned about new home remedies for the garden’s benefits. The Ocean Observer from April 1997 is a great read into the past and some helpful tips for today. Check out this copy located in the Bayshore Clubhouse Loft.
