Longest Beach in the United States:

"The World's Longest Beach" emblazoned on the archway over Bolstad street in the town of Long Beach, the beach here is not the longest beach in the world. It should be called the "World's Longest Continuous Peninsula Beach" because it is the world's longest beach on a peninsula. It stretches 28 miles along Washington's southwest coast starting close to where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean and it then extends north to the entrance to Gray's Harbor. 

The Long Beach Peninsula, in beautiful Pacific County, is located in the very southwest corner of Washington state. It's an easy and scenic drive from both Portland and Seattle as well as a classic Highway 101 destination and part of two scenic byways.
