WASHINGTON'S "LESSER KNOWN"
TOP DESTINATIONS

Long Beach

Beach towns and ocean resorts dot the Long Beach Peninsula, a 28-mile stretch of white sandy beach along Washington's Southwest Coast. Dubbed the "World's Longest Beach," visitors to the area storm watch, beachcomb for shells and driftwood, ride horseback, fly kites, and dig clams during the spring season. For the past fifteen years the colorful town of Long Beach has hosted the ever growing and popular International Kite Festival, a week-long event filled with fun kite activities and competitions.
