Located on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington State, Long Beach is a magnificent 28-mile-long white sandy beach, a fun playground where you can just lie in the sun or join in the constant fun.

Kids can build sand castles, fly kites, ride their bikes, comb the beach for shells, dig for clams, and even ride horses.

One thing this beach is not good for is swimming; it is considered dangerous even for strong swimmers, so keep an eye on the little ones.

The beach is so long that if you are willing to walk for a while, you can find a spot just for yourself.

There is always some barbecue going on, or you can bring a picnic or try one of the great seafood restaurants near the beach.
