After a scenic and windy drive around Willapa Bay, you’ll arrive on the Long Beach Peninsula, a destination sought out for its ultra-fresh seafood, great restaurants, and talented chefs, and a favorite place of the late James Beard. This 28-mile long finger of land is bordered by Willapa Bay to the east, the Columbia River to the south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. After a day on the road, sit down to a meal built around oysters at made-from-scratch restaurants including The Depot Restaurant (known for petite Oysters ‘Scargot), 42nd Street Cafe & Bistro (for an Oyster Po Boy), or Pickled Fish (Buttermilk Fried Oysters), or among others on the peninsula. Reservations recommended.
