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”

Long Beach, Cape Disappointment and Two Lighthouses

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

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!”

Long Beach Peninsula, Discovery Trail and North Head Lighthouse

After three months of mostly staying at home we finally took a mini vacation and headed to the Long Beach Peninsula on Washington’s coast. We checked into our lodging via email, picked up our keys and stayed clear of others. There were no room… Continue Reading “Long Beach Peninsula, Discovery Trail and North Head Lighthouse”

And Yet There is Still Beauty

I, like you, have been greatly disturbed, distressed, and even depressed over what I have seen in our country this past week. Yes, I remember the sixties but this feels worse somehow. I am doing my best to stay focused on the things I… Continue Reading “And Yet There is Still Beauty”

Cape Disappointment

I’ve already posted about our trip to Long Beach on the southern coast of Washington.  But I would be remiss if I left out our visit to Cape Disappointment on the southern tip of the Peninsula for it was here that the great explorers… Continue Reading “Cape Disappointment”
