So today we headed into Long Beach to check out the town. We started out at the tourist info center and met a very nice young lady. She had just been promoted to manager and did she ever deserve the promotion. She was so helpful and even gave us a couple of sand dollars and all the info to enjoy the area. We headed to the local Ace Hardware to buy a Washington State Discovery Pass, this gets us into all the state parks without having to pay any fees.
The shops on main street were a little hit and miss, being the off season half of them were closed during the week and only open on the weekends.
Long Beach boast that it is the world's longest beach, so we decided to put it to the test. In Washington you can drive right out on the beach during the winter and spring. Here you can basically drive all the way from Long Beach all the way past our resort in Surf Side. It is actually very neat to drive on the sand, we had to put it in 4 wheel drive and you have to keep a steady speed, especially going through little creeks.
Len took a video of us driving along.
