WA-S-OceanBeaches.jpgNahcotta

Nahcotta is a community on the Longbeach Peninsula in  Washington State.  The Longbeach Peninsula is located on the southern Washington Pacific Coast.

 

US Highway-101 enters the Longbeach Peninsula from the north on 40th Street.  If you turn north (right) on Pacific Highway (WA-103), at the west end of the road, you will be in Seaview.  Seaview runs from 35th Place to 51st Place. 

 

When you pass 51st Place, you enter the City of Long Beach.  Long Beach runs from 19th Street in the south to 100th Street in the north.

 

If you travel 11 miles north from 40th Street you will come to Bay Avenue where WA-103 turns to the right.  At this point you are in Ocean Park on the west (ocean) side of the peninsula.  If you travel east on Bay Avenue to where WA-103 turns north you are in the Community of Nahcotta.  Nahcotta lies on Willapa Bay on the east side of the Longbeach Peninsula.

 

In Nahcotta you will find the docks of the Port of Nahcotta and the Willapa Bay Interpretive Center.  The east side of the Peninsula has a bay atmosphere rather than an ocean beach atmosphere.  We have found it quieter with less wind and noise.

 

TheArc

Since 1950 the famous Ark Restaurant on Willapa Bay in Nahcotta was a favorite destination.

Unfortunately the Ark has closed

And the building is in disrepair.

 

Nahcotta is located on the east shore of the Long Beach Peninsula around 11 miles up the Willapa Bay shore.  The area was settled by J.A. Moorehead in 1890. 

 

The village’s real claim to fame was that it was the terminus of a local narrow gage railroad that ran from the dock of the “Ferry to Astoria” in Ilwaco to Nahcotta.  Today this small village mainly depends on the tourist industry.  The Willapa Bay Oyster House – Interpretive Center is located here as well as on of the Peninsula’s more famous restaurants.

 

The Port of Peninsula has a boat harbor on Willapa Bay in Nahcotta.  Most of the oyster industry is located here.  This area is a working port with large piles of oyster shells and many work vehicles and vessels of the oyster industry.

 

There is a state shellfish laboratory located here as well as small interpretive park dedicated to Willapa Bay.  Before settlement, Chinook Chief Nahcati’s camp was located just south of the Port’s boat basin.
