It’s Gotta be Licorice

If it’s on the menu, it’s my first choice, much to my husband’s chagrin. It turns my lips, tongue and teeth not black exactly, but a strange purple or green. ‘You can walk ahead of me, dear, if it bothers you.’ It’s always on… Continue Reading “It’s Gotta be Licorice”

Long Beach Peninsula and Long Beach, the Town

Long Beach is perhaps my favorite place on the Washington Coast and good for a visit any time of year. The beach proclaims itself to be the longest in the world. Perhaps it is if you count the entire peninsula which is 28 miles… Continue Reading “Long Beach Peninsula and Long Beach, the Town”

On the Wing at Willapa Bay

Last week I spent a few days in Long Beach, perhaps my favorite place on the Washington Coast (you’ve already seen sunset.) I’ll have more to say about our trip in the coming days, including our excursions into Oregon. But for now, I’ll focus… Continue Reading “On the Wing at Willapa Bay”

We love visiting the Long Beach Península on Washington’s southern coast, not only for the beach but also for the rugged scenery and history (this was the end of the road for Lewis and Clark), and the two lighthouses that help guide ships over… Continue Reading “Long Beach, Cape Disappointment and Two Lighthouses”

A Trip to the Beach without Benji

We just returned from a few days at the ocean, perfectly timing our visit to escape the heat wave in Seattle. Honestly, we got lucky, it was twenty degrees cooler at Long Beach. We had a great time. Bicycling. Hiking. Enjoying the sights. And… Continue Reading “A Trip to the Beach without Benji”

Long Beach, Hot Rods, Oysterville, Cape Disappointment and Waikiki

What do these have in common? Everything! We took them all in on our recent trip to Long Beach. No matter how many times we visit the Long Beach Peninsula on Washington’s coast, there’s always something new to discover along with the old favorites.… Continue Reading “Long Beach, Hot Rods, Oysterville, Cape Disappointment and Waikiki”

Moonrise over Long Beach

A few days getaway to Long Beach. After dinner we went to watch the sunset over the beach. Just as we were arriving we saw the clouds roll in. Nice, but not a great sunset. Then I turned and saw the moonrise over the… Continue Reading “Moonrise over Long Beach”

Favorite Beaches in Washington? Rialto and Long Beach!

For this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge I considered the beaches in Washington and decided to share two of them with you – Rialto and Long Beach. I don’t know if you could find two beaches on the same coast as different as these two!… Continue Reading “Favorite Beaches in Washington? Rialto and Long Beach!”
