Review:

Do not let the name put you off – a visit to Cape Disappointment State Park, located in southern Washington and northern Oregon, is a deeply rewarding experience for all nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Besides being home to several historic landmarks, the park is a wonderful place for a back-to-nature vacation, featuring three long stretches of beach (two miles in total), an interpretive center, and many options for camping and cabin rentals. There are a number of hiking trails and excellent birdwatching areas. Waikiki Beach is one of the prettiest beaches in the park and is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, sandcastle building, and walking.
