The Long Beach Peninsula isn’t exactly easily accessible for most Washingtonians. However, all Washingtonians who visit know that it’s worth the drive. Not only is Long Beach the longest beach in our state, it’s actually the longest continuous stretch of beach in the country. And if you’ve never been, make this the summer you check it out.

Long Beach is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the south by the Columbia River, and the east by Willapa Bay.

While the sign claims that this is the longest beach in the world, there are a few that are actually longer -- but it's definitely a top contender.
