This is not a disappointing photo, I particularly like how lively the colors are.

Whoever named this spot must have been having a really bad day.

The cape was named on July 6, 1788, by British fur trader John Meares, who was sailing south from Nootka Island, Canada, in search of trade. He mistook the mouth of the Columbia River for a bay, which the ship could not enter due to a shallow shoal. Just missing the discovery of the river mentioned by Francisco Antonio Mourelle, he named them Cape Disappointment and Deception Bay.

Deadman’s Cove is named for the fact that it tended to collect the corpses after ships wrecked trying to enter the Columbia River.

Were the no-trespassing signs still up at Deadman's Cove? I've been a few times but recently, they added the signs.

Did not notice any do-not-enter signs at the trailhead or the turnoff.
