2014 Map of Ocean Park

About this map

North Beach Peninsula stretches between the churning Pacific Ocean and the sheltered waters of Willapa Bay, defining a landscape of coastal settlements and interdunal lakes. The narrow corridor of land supports a string of communities including Ocean Park, Nahcotta, and Klipsan Beach, connected by a grid of numbered streets and lanes. The interior of the peninsula is characterized by a series of elongated freshwater bodies like Loomis Lake, Island Lake, and Cranberry Lake, which follow the north-south grain of the land. Evidence of the region's agricultural and maritime legacy is visible through named properties such as Loomis Ranch, Adamson Ranch, and Rasmason Ranch. Along the eastern shore, the Nahcotta Channel and Pauls Slough indicate the tidal nature of the bay side, while Oceanside and Pacific Beach face the open sea.
