Inn Details
China Beach Retreat is nestled in a small cove between the Port of Ilwaco and Fort Canby State Park. Its serene setting make it the perfect place to unwind and leave the trappings of hectic modern living behind. Time seems to stand still, or at least beat to a different rhythm as you watch wild waterfowl careen above the estuary. It is the ultimate getaway, with not a neighbor in sight. There are antique furnishings throughout and each room features a spa tub and a stunning view of Bakers Bay and the mouth of The Columbia River. Guests enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at the award winning Shelburne Inn, just a 5-minute drive away. Check-in is at The Shelburne Inn.
