4 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com Beard’s Hollow ADVENTURE IN YOUR BACKYARD From clouds rising in the Willapa Hills and breathtaking old growth forests to miles of silver sand beaches and windswept dunes, you will find an abundance of natural beauty throughout Pacific County. All you have to do is step outside.

BEACHES The peninsula has 28 miles of uninterrupted sand and rolling dunes. Even during the peak season, you will find uncrowded stretches to enjoy.

There are seven beach access points (see map on next page). You can also access the beach on foot at Loomis Lake State Park, Pacific Pines State Park, and Leadbetter Point State Park. Walk quiet stretches of beach in Tokeland and North Cove, two small villages in north Pacific County.

Be sure to read up on beach safety and beach driving on pages 16-17. This coast is wild and beautiful. Treat it with respect.

WHALE WATCHING Breaching gray whales, humpbacks, and orcas can be spotted anytime of year along the peninsula. The best times to spot a whale are during the biannual migration of nearly 20,000 Pacific Gray Whales in January and mid-March. Check our award winning weekly newspaper, the Chinook Observer, for sightings.

BIRDING Sitting along a major flyway, the Long Beach Peninsula is known for birding. More than 300 species of birds make their home here on the Peninsula. Whether you are searching for Great Blue Herons, Trumpeter Swans, the Western Screech-Owl, or perhaps the Red-Breasted Sapsucker – the possibilities are endless.

Keep an eye on the Chinook Observer for season openings, and be sure to pick up

proper licensing. Cape Disappointment Lighthouse

STORM WATCHING Whether you prefer to go storm watching from the indoors, your vehicle, or view from a point high above the dramatic surf, or even if you venture forth on foot while the raging winds pound high tide surf against the dunes, storm watching in Pacific County is an invigorating experience you won’t soon forget.

Stay away from large logs, which shift and can be tossed upon the shore like toothpicks. Watch out for sneaker waves. And never turn your back on the mighty Pacific.

STATE PARKS One thing you cannot live without in Pacific County is a Discover Pass. A pass is $30 a year or $10 for a day pass. It’s well worth every penny.

Pick up a pass at Cape Disappointment State Park, the Mobil gas station in Seaview, Pioneer Market in Long Beach, or at Jack’s Country Store in Ocean Park. Passes can also be purchased online at www. discoverpass.wa.gov.

CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT STATE PARK Cape Disappointment is one of Washington’s most popular state parks, and when you live on the peninsula, it’s practically your backyard. Take in

7 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com Discovery Trail sweeping, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the mouth of the Columbia River. Hike miles of gorgeous trails. Visit two working lighthouses and the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. Watch waves crash during storm season or catch a summer concert at Waikiki Beach. The more you explore, the more you uncover at Cape D.

FORT COLUMBIA HISTORICAL STATE PARK Just outside of Chinook sits one of the most intact historic coastal units in the United States. Get up close and personal with history as you wander through old gun batteries and the grounds of Fort Columbia. Trails suitable for more experienced hikers wind up the hillside behind the garrison. You can also walk down to the shore of the Columbia where you will find beautiful views of the Columbia River and Oregon.

LEADBETTER POINT STATE PARK Leadbetter Point is located at the northern tip of the peninsula, and portions of the park are part of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. The trail systems all connect, offering short loops as well as longer hikes that take you along Willapa Bay and to the beach. This park is excellent for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Keep an eye out for signs designating snowy plover nesting grounds--these areas are closed certain times of year.

PACIFIC PINES AND LOOMIS LAKE STATE PARKS These small parks are perfect for picnics, exploring the beach, birding, and fishing. Find Pacific Pines State Park north of Ocean Park and Loomis Lake State Park at the heart of the peninsula just before Klipsan Beach.

WILLAPA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

8 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com Walk old growth forests, watch fog rise into the hills, and listen. Let the wind, waves, and birds be your company. The Willapa National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a unique pocket of Pacific County where you can truly immerse yourself in the beauty of the environment. From Leadbetter Point on the north end of the Long Beach Peninsula to Long Island and the shores of Willapa Bay, this refuge protects unique ecosystems and a rich biodiversity. Contact the Friends of Willapa Refuge to learn about volunteer opportunities. DISCOVERY TRAIL The Discovery Trail begins at the Port of Ilwaco where you’ll find a brass sculpture of a California Condor spreading its wings. This sculpture commemorates a journal entry by William Clark, of Lewis and Clark, about a “buzzard of a large kind”. This is just the start of the 8.5-mile long hiking and biking trail named after the Corps of Discovery. Their journey ended here on the Long Beach Peninsula, and you will find several art installments and interpretive panels dedicated to their experiences along the trail.

Continue along the Port of Ilwaco where you can watch fishing boats coming and going in Baker Bay. The trail goes up a steep hillside and takes you straight to Cape Disappointment State Park where you can take slight detours to view the North Head Lighthouse and Beard’s Hollow. Continue on through a grove of ancient Sitka spruce, coastal forests, transitional wetlands, and windswept dunes. Let the sounds and sights of the beautiful Washington coast reinvigorate your soul.

Keep an eye out for the Gray Whale carvings near the Sid Snyder Beach Approach. Step off the trail and onto the Long Beach Boardwalk that drifts over the dunes. Pause to remember the harrowing journey of Lewis and Clark near the basalt monolith and statue of Clark standing over a sturgeon near the Bolstad Beach Approach. The trail ends behind the Breakers in Long Beach with a bronze replica of the tree Clark carved his initials into over two hundred years ago.

9 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com 10 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com HISTORICALLY RICH

CHINOOK NATION The Chinook have lived at the mouth of the Columbia River and along the Pacific Coast since time immemorial.

LEWIS AND CLARK For ten days in mid-November of 1805, the Lewis and Clark party, formally known as the Corps of Discovery, explored the peninsula.

HISTORY OF HOSPITALITY The Long Beach Peninsula has been a beloved destination since the nineteenth century and has a deeply rooted history of welcoming visitors.

HISTORIC VILLAGES Historic victorian and craftsman homes dot the villages of Pacific County. Many are over a century old and lovingly maintained by their owners. CLAMSHELL RAILROAD Known as the “Railroad that Ran with the Tide”, the Clamshell Railroad was once the lifeblood of the peninsula.

MILITARY HISTORY The remains of Fort Canby and Fort Columbia can still be explored at Cape Disappointment and Fort Columbia state parks.

GRAVEYARD OF THE PACIFIC Over 2,000 vessels and 700 lives have been lost along this trecherous stretch of coast since 1792.

14 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com LOCAL NOTES & TIPS

COMMUNITY MINDED Pacific County is close-knit and full of people who genuinely care about the community, environment, and local economy. The best way to get to know people is to get involved! Find volunteer opportunities and service clubs in the local contact directory of this welcome packet. BEACH CLEANUPS The GrassRoots Garbage Gang organizes multiple beach cleanups every year. Visit ourbeach.org for dates and to learn how you can make a difference!

SNOWY PLOVER NESTING From March 15 to September 15, take extra care while exploring the north end of the peninsula! Look for signs restricting access to protected Snowy Plover nesting areas on the beach.

These tiny birds nest in dry sand, and if startled, they will leave their nest. This makes their eggs and chicks extremely vulnerable. Their chicks are about the size of a cotton ball!

Snowy Plover populations have plummeted due to human activity, habitat loss, predators, and pets. They used to nest along much of the Pacific Coast, but now they have few nesting areas left. If you’re interested in learning more about Snowy Plovers, visit the Willapa National Wildlife Center website: www.fws.gov/refuge/willapa

BEAR AWARE Black bears are fairly common in Pacific County. They love digging through garbage, so be aware of when you put your trash out. Never ever feed or approach a bear! If they become too accustomed to people, they will be destroyed.

15 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com BE BEACH-FRIENDLY AND SAFE!

NO SWIMMING Swimming in the ocean is not recommended on the Long Beach Peninsula, even on calm days.

• Life guards do not regularly patrol the beach. • The ocean currents are strong and dangerous no matter the time of tide. You cannot swim against rip currents. • Wear a life jacket when playing near the water’s edge. • Stay away from logs in the surf or wet sand. • Our average water temperatures range from the mid- 40s to the mid-60s. These temperatures can cause hypothermia. • Never turn your back on the waves. Sneaker waves are powerful waves that come high up on the beach without warning. • Keep a close eye on your children.

BEACH FIRES & PICNICS • Campfires must be smaller than 4 feet on each side and 3 feet in height. • Campfires must be 100 feet west of the dune line. • Drench your fire before you go. • Pack out all garbage. • Be aware of traffic when having a picnic. Avoid hard- packed sand where vehicles drive. • Check for burn bans.

SAND DUNES, CLIFFS, AND TIDES • Do not dig caves in the dunes. Tunnels and caves can collapse and bury you. • Be cautious near dune cliffs and vertical dune faces. Assume all cliff edges and rock jetties are unstable. • Always be aware of tides! Jetties and Fisherman’s Rock in Beard’s Hollow are susceptible to rising tides.

16 VisitLongBeachPeninsula.com EMERGENCIES • Do not attempt to rescue someone in the ocean. You will likely become a victim yourself. Call 911, try to keep a visual, and stay there!

DRIVING ON THE BEACH The Peninsula shoreline is a Washington State Highway. All drivers and vehicles must be licensed and insured just as on any other State Highway (sorry, no ATVs).

• The speed limit is 25 MPH. • Reckless or careless driving is not tolerated. • Parking is allowed. • Never drive on the dunes. • Do not drive on clam beds (the softer sand close to the water line). • Watch for wildlife, pedestrians, dogs, and sunbathers. Especially watch out for seal pups! • Enter and exit the beach only at designated beach approach roads. • The areas of beach between the Seaview beach approach and the Bolstad beach approach as well as north of the Oysterville approach are closed to vehicle traffic from April 15 to Labor Day. • Only drive on the beach if you have four-wheel drive. • Stay on the hard pack and out of the “sugar sand”. • If you do get stuck beyond your ability to pull yourself out, expect tow fees to be at least $100.

For more tips on beach driving, visit: www.funbeach.com/beach-driving.

WILDLIFE • Stay away from wildlife, dead or alive. Leave wildlife alone. • Stay at least 100 yards away from seal pups so the mother will return. Do not touch seal pups! • Federal law prohibits touching, feeding, and disturbing marine mammals. • Whales (dead or alive) are protected. Dissecting, dismembering, or removing parts can spread disease and is against the law. • Intentionally running over seabirds or other animals is against the law. • In case of emergency, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife can be contacted through 911. • If you see an injured or distressed marine mammal, call the Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 206-526-6733 ext. 1 or local authorities at 360-642-3078.
