This 15-mile peninsula is located right on the coast of Washington on the southwestern edge, which is north of the mouth of the Columbia River within the Pacific District. The map for the trail is located at the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau at Seaview, as well as at some local stores. The trail runs along a difficult path on a sandy beach. Sometimes cars get stuck, which can cost at least $ 80 for towing service. For more information about the trail, you can check it out with the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau at the Washington State Parking and Recreation Commission.
To make this trip, blow the air through the tires of a car up to 15 pounds per square inch and stay on hard wet sand. Never use mollusk beds, and it is safer to drive at low tide. However, the beach is considered a state road, where all the rules of the road apply. The highlight of this coastal trip is Long Beach itself, which is the longest beach in the world, providing maximum speed. This is also known for spear of mollusks and fishing, hanging in the season, and every August there is also an international kite festival. To get here, take US 101 on SR 103, which is the northern part of the Columbia River. Along the SR 103 there are 8 beach access points, namely: Seaview (38th place), Long Beach (10th St. SW, Bolstad and N. 14th Avenue), Cranberry Road (between Long Beach and Loomis Lake State Park), Clipsan Beach (225th), Ocean Park (Avenue Bay) and Oisterville Road. Access paths on this trail are on Cranberry Road, Oisterville, and Clipsan Beach.
The remaining stops are located near bonfires, which are allowed at a distance of at least 150 feet from the coastline. However, camping at night on the beach is not allowed. However, near the beach there is camping and accommodation. The surf in this area is too dangerous for swimming, and the ocean is too cold.
Most of the road trails on this trail really do not move the whole section and, as a rule, simply use one of the access roads. Most visitors come for fishing, horse riding, cycling and walking. Thus, as you go along the trail, you can simply complete some leisure activities at the beach, rather than driving the entire trail where you risk getting stuck in the sand. Just be careful while driving, as the tide can quickly rise if you do not know it. Keep in mind to avoid dry and soft sand, as the car is more susceptible to being stuck in this form.
