It's tiny but delightfully self-sufficient with its one grocery store, cafe, book and gift shop, museum and public boat launch ramp. There' s a small offering of inns and B&B's in the area. A no-brainer for kayakers but also a serene refuge for hikers, bikers or those seeking a restful hub for a weekend of scenic drives. • http://www.welcometowahkiakum.com/lodging_skamokawa.shtml • #Skamokawa #ColumbiaRiver #historic #towns #kayak #bike #hike](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000461088/43db139c-72fe-4052-ac69-2d08a39de8bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Skamokawa ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-uk-fr-de.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Holiday Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and holiday homes.

(1,966 reviews) Even though it’s an older hotel, it’s one of our favorite places to stay in Astoria. Being right on the water is a huge plus, and we love the themed rooms—they’re really cool.
