Tongue Point

Tongue Point, a peninsula jutting off US Highway 301 in Oregon, boasts a unique blend of history and restricted access. While public access is limited, the landform itself holds historical significance. The name "Tongue Point" predates Lewis and Clark, bestowed by British explorer George Vancouver in 1792. Today, the peninsula houses a US Jobs Corps Campus, a US Coast Guard facility, commercial shipping yards, and a component of the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge.

Despite restricted access, Tongue Point offers glimpses of its historical significance for those visiting nearby areas. Wildlife enthusiasts can explore the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge, a part of which is located here. The Astoria Riverwalk also provides scenic views of Tongue Point, allowing visitors to appreciate the peninsula from afar. While nightlife and shopping options are non-existent due to the restricted areas, nearby Astoria offers a variety of choices.
