long beach

Long Beach is a great little beach town. Main strip full of stores & restaurants. 2 great little second hand stores. Lots of easy beach access points. Nice boardwalk & bike trails along beach with lots of historical plaques and statues. We had a great time.

I grew up here, now I come to visit family and friends still love to be here. Great local seafood, good weather and just a great town/peninsula. If you haven't visited the area you must, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Had a wonderful trip down to long beach to meet family traveling up from Florida. Weather in the low 60s in February - unheard of. Had to get through two days of rains to enjoy the sunshine but couldn't have been a better trip.

My fiance and I decided to have a picnic on the beach for Valentine's Day this year. What better place than Long Beach! Where you can drive 20 miles on a beach! It was quite windy that day, so we ended up eating in the car. We would drive for a bit and then get out and walk towards the water. There were tons of people there flying kites and we even saw someone attempt a bonfire. I would suggest using a 4-wheel drive vehicle, as we were in a sedan. We drove down the majority of the beach, and at one of the entrances we had to cross basically a river in order to go back into the town, but we didn't feel like getting our car stuck. I heard it's $50-$100 to get it towed if you get stuck so beware! It's really cool driving and not worrying about which "side" of the road you're driving on.

Long Beach, in Long beach, WA, is beautiful and expansive. We were just there on a balmy February day and enjoyed a nice long walk, looking for shells.

With 28 miles of driveable beach, great restaurants and diverse, excellent housing options, Long Beach, WA is hard to beat!A perfect destination if you love to vacation with dogs! Just so much beach!And don't forget to check out the State Park and see the lighthouses!My third trip to LBW, now, my first as an adult. I can vouch that it is fun for all ages!

Long Beach has long been one of our favorite day trips. The beaches are clean, there are plenty of facilities (from benches and rest/picnic areas to public restrooms) and there is always something fun to do! Shopping is great whether you like antiques, art, candy and treats or shells and souvenirs. (We did most of our Christmas shopping there!)

This was a happenin' little beach town when we visited last June. The beach is beautiful, stretches on forever, nice for walking! It was fun watching the dogs frolicking in and out of the waves (made us wish we could have been travelling with our own...) and cars are allowed to drive on the beach so it was amusing watching some of them get stuck in the sand ;) The town itself is just a short walk away with shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors and of course, the world's largest chopsticks (lol)! There was also horse and buggy rides and music in the gazebo- lots going on to keep everyone entertained.

My boyfriend and I took a spur of the moment weekend trip to Long Beach, and this was, by far, the most beautiful beach I have been to. We went in December, and it was very pleasant. The waves were beautifully dramatic, and taking an early morning bike ride to the beach allowed us to watch the fishing boats returning from a night at sea. The community of the town is just so welcoming. Everyone we met was super friendly, and the shops were fantastic. We excitedly await our return to Long Beach!

Since moving to Washington we decided to check out the southwestern edge of the state. We enjoyed the ride down and found out we must plan ahead for camping in a state campground as they are popular. We did find another campground and perused the entire area for a great 4 day weekend. I am never disappointed with this state and its facilities. Was here in 2013 on Labor day weekend.

And if you like hiking crabbing clamming fishing duckhunting bike riding and bakeries that open at five in the morningand excellent dining sports bars and Art and antique shopping oh heck I guess that's why we bought a condo here.

Great little town and not as crowded as some of the more commercialized beach towns. Cute stores. Great ice cream cones at Scoopers. Kite festival week is a good time to go if you want to see some awesome kites and join in the festivities. I love the boardwalk along the beach dunes.

The several blocks of storefronts are very much what you would expect in a beach town. It is fun to explore and you might find a few "treasures."

We have fallen in love with Long Beach this past year or 2014. We have visited three times, usually staying a few nights to go clam digging and do a little shopping. My husband and I go for a romantic vacation and we took the kids once as well. The ocean views are just astounding. Next time I'm bringing a kite.

This is a Small town, less trendy than others, but with some good food and beautiful beaches. There are some nice shopping spots too!
