Washington's ocean beaches are wide, flat and hard packed, and on many of them you can drive a car onto the sand. The Long Beach Peninsula in the south has 28 miles of continuous beach with a boardwalk through the dunes. Westport is a fishing harbor with a surf beach. Across the bay, Ocean Shores sits on a peninsula with the ocean on one side, and the road north runs through Copalis Beach, Pacific Beach, Seabrook and Moclips. People come for razor clam digs, kites and winter storms as much as for summer.
