British trader John Meares named it “Cape Disappointment” in 1788, due to his mistaken belief that the mouth of the Columbia River was only a bay. 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. (June 2019)

Lighthouse Suites Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Another great experience at Lighthouse Suites Inn! Alyce at the front desk was amazing. So welcoming and accommodating. Our 9 year old loved spending time at the pool and hot tub. They have board games and books you can borrow as well. Rooms are nice, clean and have a great view of the beach and ocean. Third trip here and we will be coming back. Thank you Alyce and the Lighthouse Suites Inn! "
