Description
This is a special photo for me since I was stranded on the big rock for many hours during the high tide. I really enjoyed the fishing off the rocks, but may parents had a different feeling. This taken from an overlook just as the sun was starting to set.
It is a circular beach in a hollow at the base of a cliff, on Pacific Ocean, 1 mile west of Ilwaco, southwest Pacific County. It was named for Capt. E.N. Beard who ship, the bark Vanalia, foundered off the mouth of the Columbia River in 1853. All hands were lost, and Beard's body was found on the beach near this hollow.
Beards Hollow is located at Cape Disappointment on the Washington Coast, south of Seaview, Washington, and north of the North Head Lighthouse. On November 15, 1805, Captain Lewis reached the Pacific Ocean near Beards Hollow. Beards Hollow was named after Captain E.N. Beard whose ship, the bark Vandalia, met disaster off the mouth of the Columbia River in 1853. The crew was lost and Captain Beard's body was found on the beach near the hollow.
