Lunch was at Bennett's, world famous, or at least in the region. There are a number of chowder places and fish and chips along the strip but I had read about Bennett's, and it didn't disappoint.

First stop was Beard's Hollow overlook. When Lewis and Clark were here most of the green you see was beach but it's filled in over the last two hundred years.

The lighthouse keepers had pretty nice digs. The building on the right was the house for the main person and the second set of buildings for assistants. You now can stay in these rooms.

Looking out at the Cape from the lighthouse. It's called Cape Disappointment because of all of the ship wrecks that happened here. There are brutal storms and dangerous sandbars around this cape.UnderUnderneath

Second stop was at the North Head lighthouse. It's still a working lighthouse although no kerosene light now, it's a fancy LED.

This is a giant frying pan and whale sculpture. When I visited the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, I found out this was actually used in giant clam bakes in the 1940's.

Sherburne Hotel is the longest continually hotel in Washington State. Built in 1896. Some of it's guests have been Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Paul Newman and Robert Redford and Elizabeth Taylor. Not all at the same time.

Gerard D'Aboville spent 134 days crossing the Pacific from Japan to Ilwaco in a small, I don't even know if you can call it a boat, it looks more like a big kayak. Someone Google this, it's too incredible.
