Washaway beach

Just south of Westport is an area called Washaway Beach.  The areas where we are standing used to be houses and streets.  The eroded area used to extend about a one and a half miles beyond the current shoreline and was a fully developed community with houses, commercial buildings and a coast guard station.  Erosion from the water flowing out of the Columbia river affected the ocean shoreline currents and wiped out the entire peninsula.


Just the right of house above was one of the main roads
Below is a house that went down about a year ago.


House below is next to go.
