Klipsan Beach was the site of a station of the United States Life-Saving Service. The station buildings still remain, although they are privately owned. The station is on the National Register of Historic Places. The station's name was originally Ilwaco Beach, and only later became known as Klipsan Station. The station was one of several assigned to provide protection in the area known as the Graveyard of the Pacific.
Following the 1915 merger of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and the United States Revenue Cutter Service, the station was designated as Coast Guard Station No. 309. Today, the restored structure operates as a vacation rental property.
