On our final full day, we went for a bike ride from Seaview to Beards Hollow on the Discovery Trail.
Seaview was once a depot on the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company, a narrow gauge railroad that ran up the Long Beach Peninsula from 1889 to 1930.
Originally a summer community for the Portland gentry, Seaview’s quiet tree-lined streets invite strollers to enjoy turn-of-the-century Victorian homes which are survivors of a developer’s plans from the 1880s.
This picture shows the dune grasses which were still fairly green. We could see the Pacific Ocean as we rode, but only over the dunes.
