The North Head Lighthouse
The North Head Lighthouse
Located on Washington's southwestern most tip, the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse has been guarding the "Graveyard of the Pacific" since 1856. Ships coming in from the north needed more help than what the Cape "D" could offer and the US Government built a second lighthouse 42 years later... the North Head Lighthouse.

Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center
Visit the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center... all the excitement and adventure of the Lewis & Clark expedition can be discovered here. The journey comes alive through original journal entries matched with photo murals and artwork, freestanding exhibits and displays highlighting important contributions made by the many Native American tribes to the success of the venture. The Lewis & Clark journey ended on this peninsula. From here, they crossed the river to Oregon to find more food.

The World Kite Museum
The World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame is America's only museum dedicated exclusively to the history of kites, kite makers and famous kite flyers.

Razor Clamming
Recreational digging for razor clams is truly a family sport. All you need is a clam shovel or specialized tube, a container to put your clams in, and your clam license. Be sure to check with WDFW for the latest regulation requirements for clam digging. During the fall and winter when low tides occur at night, thousands of clam diggers brave the elements to dig by lantern or flash light.

Nahcotta, Washington

Nahcotta
In Nahcotta, (named after Chinook Indian Chief Nahcati) visit a replica of an oyster station house known as the Willapa Bay Interpretive Center. While there enjoy access to the rocky shores and the bay. It is one of just two publicly owned spots (Leadbetter Point is the other) with access to Willapa Bay's shores.

Oysterville
Oysterville had it's own "gold rush". Visitors will hear the amazing story of how the late 19th century oyster boom made the town rich. Fortunes changed when local harvesters exhausted the native oyster supply and the railroad opted not to head all the way to Oysterville, now on the National Register of Historic Places.
