The seaside town of Long Beach, in southwestern Washington State, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, whether you’re already an expert in your sport or you’re looking to learn.
Horseback riding:
A popular activity along the wide, flat sand of Long Beach. Several local companies offer rentals and lessons.
Golf:
Visitors have access to two public courses in town, along with a putt-putt course for something more lighthearted.
Zipline:
High Life Adventures offers guided zip-line excursions along their mile-long course, suspended over a lake. The activity draws families, groups of friends and companies looking to do a team-building exercise.
Jogging:
Long Beach’s 28-mile-long stretch of sand is perfect for a long walk or jog. You’ll encounter few hazards and typically very few other people. The beach is quiet, the waves gentle and the sand clean, regardless of where you start and finish.
Hiking:
Trails in Cape Disappointment and Leadbetter Point state parks traverse forests and marshes, often opening up onto panoramic views of dramatic coastline.
Surfing:
As long as you don’t mind wearing a wetsuit, Long Beach is a great place to learn to surf, with few hazards and manageable waves. Skookum Surf Co. offers lessons.
