I go to Long Beach fairly often. The busy kite and sand castle fesitvals are a good time. The boardwalk, amusement park, saltwater taffy, and beach are awesome. We spent the 4th of July here last year and it was the best beach party ever! In fact I want to return here for the 4th every year that I can…
Nearby lighthouses (at Cape Disappointment) and the Willapa Bay Wildlife Refuge are good side trips.
