World's Longest Beach, Long Beach, Washington

Long Beach, WA

Morning on Day 4 brought more grey skies, and some annoying rain showers. But I did a little exploring in town, despite the weather.

As the name suggests, Long Beach is, indeed, an impressively long (28 miles!) expanse of sand. You'll find the landmark arch near a record-holding piece of cast iron cookery.

Be sure to check out the World's Largest Frying Pan, right at the center of town on Rte. 103.
(To find out why there's a red mug sitting in front of it, you'll have to visit my other web page, www.bigredmug.com!)

Tip:

Another Long Beach attraction you shouldn't miss: Marsh's Free Museum. The quirky tourist trap is packed with plenty of souvenirs, just as you'd expect. But also on display are dozens of old arcade games, fortune telling machines, and viewing machines. Many of them still work, too, providing you have a penny or nickel to spare. And, look for the main attraction at Marsh's: the mummified remains of Jake the Alligator Man.
