Beard's Hollow is located at Cape Disappointment south of Seaview, WA and right at the end of the beach that Long Beach Thousand Trails RV Resort is on. It is north of the North Head Lighthouse. On November 15, 1805 Captain Lewis reached the Pacific Ocean near Beard's Hollow. It was named after Captain E.N. Beard whose ship, the 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.
We walked the beach, which the sand is very very soft, even near the water, so we got our exercise! Beard's Hollow is a beautiful area that we saw as soon as we looked south. It was cool and misty so the fog around the point made it a little creepy but was the perfect setting. It also made for a great picture. We walked down to get a closer look but the tide was coming in and the mist was turning into rain. Now if it was a warm day we wouldn't of minded the light rain but when it is 55 degrees and windy, it makes for a chilly day. We headed back to the RV to get warmed up.
