A little area history

The area around Seabrook was the center of attention for ocean beach vacations from the turn of the century through the 1920’s. The Northern Pacific Railroad put a rail line from Aberdeen to Moclips. Throngs of vacationers arrived by rail in the area and hotels and other accommodations were built to take care of the vacationers every need.

Fires and storms took their toll in the facilities in the area but the real blow was the crash of 1929 which took the heart out of the American economy and most people didn’t have the expendable income necessary for vacations at the beach. Then World War II came along and two factors spelled the death of the vacation business in the area. First, the Navy arrived and they literally took the area off of the maps and the population was busy with the war effort. During this period all of the facilities from that era disappeared from sight.

The Beach

The main draw to this area is the beach. The surf and the sand offer a Mecca for beach lovers.

There is also danger here. This beach has hosted the hulls of probably a hundred ships and boats that have run aground in Pacific storms. Everything from four-masted schooners to modern steel ships have ended up on this beach.

In recent years winter storm watching vacations have been becoming more and more popular and this is a great place to see the high surf roar in on the beach in the winter.

The New Community of Seabrook

Considering the beauty of the ocean beaches it is amazing that most of this area of the coast is underutilized. With a few exceptions, most of the tourist facilities in the area are old, rundown, or were never up to today’s tourist resort standards. Considering the success of the 1960’s planned development of Ocean Shores it is about time someone puts in a 21^st Century ocean front development.

We haven’t visited Seabrook yet. We plan to remedy that problem soon.
