Overview
The Long Beach Peninsula’s Discovery Trail is really a linear monument to the arrival of Captain William Clark at the Pacific Coast on November 19th, 1805. Over the years since the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial, most of the trail has been paved save for a short, steep section between North Head Road and Beards Hollow . The coastal part of the pathway winds through low dunes with numerous sandy user trails heading off to the beach. The main paved trail marks the median high tide line and separates state property on the west from private property on the east. A boardwalk between Bolstad Street and Sid Snyder Drive gives a higher view and a chance to do some whale watching. The inland section of the route, running up and over a low hill crest, joins Ilwaco with Beards Hollow and is the least frequented section.
