Long Beach, a 28-mile area of beach, lies in southwestern Washington, and is generally called Long Beach Peninsula. Communities there take you back to old days of a simple life. Here, visitors can relax and enjoy the good of a total rest.

Bird watching

There are different kinds of birds on Long Beach. It’s best if you watch them from a distance and don’t try to frighten them. The Southwest Loop Route Map can be got through the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Office by calling 1-800-451-2542.

Horses

A popular activity on Long Beach is horseback riding. Two businesses in the city of Long Beach offer guided horseback tours along the beach: Black Country Wilderness Outfitters and Skipper’s Equestrian Center. You may also bring your own horse. Among the adventures offered with horses is a wagon (四轮马车) ride along the beach, a carriage ride through Seaview or Long Beach, a back country pack trip, or a sunset ride by horseback on the beach.

Camping

RV (活动房屋式旅游车) and tent camping aren’t allowed on the beach. Camp fires are allowed within 100 feet off the beach, but must be away from the dry grass.

Swimming and other activities

Swimming is allowed, but you must be careful. The waters are very cold and dangerous. Surfing (冲浪) is advised only for experienced surfers. Beach driving is allowed at certain areas on the beach. The speed limit is 25 mph. Building sand castles, digging sand to find something, riding bicycles and flying kites are also popular activities in the area.

Enjoy your trip to Long Beach, Washington!
