About Clatsop Spit
Clatsop Spit is a sand spit located in Oregon, between Astoria and the northern part of Tillamook Head. It is 0.48 miles from Social Security Beach and 3.6 miles from the village of Hammond.
Clatsop Spit is an unusually large sand spit on the Pacific coast along U.S. Route 101 between Astoria and the north end of Tillamook Head in Clatsop County, northwest Oregon, at the mouth of the Columbia River. The Clatsop Spit was formed by sediment brought to the coast by the Columbia River after the last ice age ended and the ocean level rose approximately 8,500 years ago. Here it was worked over and shaped by the wind and the waves until a vast and sandy plain was formed.
