The North Beach Peninsula is defined by its narrow geography, squeezed between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the expansive Willapa Bay to the east. This survey documents the modern settlement patterns of Pacific County, where communities like Ocean Park, Nahcotta, and Klipsan Beach are linked by Pacific Way and Sandridge Rd. The landscape is a complex network of freshwater and brackish environments, including numerous named bodies of water such as Loomis Lake, Cranberry Lake, and Clam Lake. Much of the eastern shoreline and the southern portion of the sheet are protected within the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, preserving habitats like Cranberry Marsh and Giles Slough. For local historians and genealogists, the Ocean Park Cem and the residential grids of Oceanside offer specific points of interest on this thin strip of coastal Washington.
