Grab your camera and take photos of the vessels bobbing up and down in the harbor at Port of Ilwaco. Colorful sailboats coupled with the rippling reflections on the water can make for some gorgeous snaps.

Port of Ilwaco is an ideal place to begin exploring Ilwaco. This yacht and boat harbor is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Cape Disappointment State Park, Long Beach Boardwalk, and Cape Disappointment Lighthouse to really experience what's on offer in the area.

Lovely stay at The Vintage. We had a comfortable room, comfy bed. Only issue - no place to hang up damp towels. Only one towel bar with hand towels. Also - shower gel pump may be clogged and bottle almost empty so it was hard to get enough to shower.

We were in town for a few days visiting colleges and we enjoyed our stay. It was central to lots of restaurants, making it easy to walk. Having coffee and hot water in the lobby at all times was a plus. Staff were all friendly. It's an old building, but they have done a nice job renovating it. I would definitely stay here again.

I liked that there was a parking structure was across the street which had pretty good pricing for our overnight stays. The hotel itself felt very safe being that you needed a room key in order to use the escalator to reach the rooms up top. We enjoyed the overall atmosphere as it felt very upscale and unique. All in all, would stay here again ! Thank you for having us Hotel Lucia !

Verified traveler

If you can hit the Saturday Farmers Market or are there to enjoy fishing with a Charter it is fun. Otherwise Ilwaco is a dead town.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

No fish cleaning and no fish cleaning station. Other than that it's great. Nice ramp.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Dirty and unsafe feeling. Very dumpy RV park at the end of the pier.
