History
After the race, be sure to check out the historical markers and information about the village of Bayocean that was once known as the “Atlantic City of the West.’ The town once boasted a general store, hotel, and a saltwater natatorium. After the construction of a jetty to the north of the spit at the mouth of Tillamook Bay, ocean currents began to wash away Baoyocean. Erosion claimed most homes and business buildings in the town with the last home falling into the sea in 1960.

Erosion claimed most homes and business buildings in the town with the last home falling into the sea in 1960. Today, Tillamook County still owns much of the land and manages the land as a primitive park with miles of trails and beach access.
