Historic Desdemona Sands Light. This lighthouse was built in 1901 to mark the Desdemona Sands shoal in the Columbia estuary. It was replaced in 1935 by a fixed light when electrical power was brought to the site, removing the need for a lighthouse keeper. The shoal is now marked by a light on piling.

Point Adams Lighthouse. The Point Adams Light was lit on February 15, 1875. From the start the lighthouse was plagued with problems. The Lighthouse Service decided in 1899 to discontinue the lighthouse, and replace it with the Desdemona Sands Light. The lighthouse was burned in 1912 because "it was a fire hazard".
