The United States deemed Cape Disappointment strategically significant enough to base military fortifications there during the Civil War and World War II. Construction of a lighthouse was complet­ed in 1856.

A beautiful campground, lots of hiking, beautiful beaches, and even a couple of lighthouses all add to the charm. This is the North Head Lighthouse, and for $2.50 you can get a tour and climb to the top. #washington #capedisappointment #lighthouse](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/118060/ee309fbb-758c-44bc-b47d-79d94a769cb9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ### Popular cities in Pacific County [Long Beach Known for Beaches, Dining and Sea ](https://expedia.ca/Long-Beach.dx6054440) Long Beach awaits: its beaches, oceanfront, festivals, and more! ## Reasons to visit - Long Beach Boardwalk - Gray Whale Skeleton - Long Beach Carnival Park [Explore city](https://expedia.ca/Long-Beach.dx6054440)[Find hotels](https://expedia.ca/Long-Beach-Hotels.d6054440.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Ocean Park Known for Beaches, Sea and Family-friendly ](https://expedia.ca/Ocean-Park.dx140734) Escape to upscale Ocean Park!
