Our stretches of sand might not be what most people expect when they hear the word "beach," but the Pacific Ocean shoreline is full of hidden gems and surprising destinations. Long Beach delivers wind and a famed kite festival, while Ocean Shores brings the kitsch. The refinement of Seabrook sits close to the protected coves of the Olympic National Park, home to some of the states oldest historical artifacts. We have waves, wilderness, sand, and adventure—and sometimes even sun.
