On the Long Beach Peninsula, this program marks the moment the Lewis & Clark Expedition first reached the Pacific in the winter of 1805 — the moment Clark scrawled "Ocian in view! O! the joy." Living-history talks, guided walks, and coastal storytelling bring the Corps of Discovery's arrival at the edge of the continent to life, right where it happened.
It's a thoughtful, place-rooted way to connect the wild Washington coast to one of the great chapters of American exploration. Pair it with a visit to the peninsula's beaches, lighthouses, and interpretive centers, and you'll come away with a richer feel for the history written into this remarkable stretch of shoreline.
