One of our favorite quick get aways is the Washington Coast. Early in the Covid pandemic, we made a few trips here to get away, and explore while supporting a small city that relies on tourism.
where to stay:
Our favorite place to stay out here is one of the Adrift Hospitality locations. We discovered them years ago through an early property in Seaside, Oregon.
For these specific trips, we stayed at Long Beach Cottages. We chose this based on the cleaning procedure, social distance encouraged, and mostly the precautions they were taking for guests and their staff to ensure everyone’s comfort level. The cottages are also dog friendly, and gave us opportunity for our large dog to not disturb other guests.
what to do:
Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, many businesses and activities were close. However we did:
Family Fun Center: Mini Golf and Go Carts
Drive on the Beach: Please be careful and read the tips prior to going on.
Cranberry Museum: Check out the bogs, the gift shop, and try some delicious cranberry ice cream
where to eat:
Please keep in mind, the last time we ate at some of these places, it was take out only. Some may have closed - please check ahead!
Lost Roo : We had fish tacos and tots in the car in the parking lot
Pickled Fish: We got a little burned out here - the first pandemic trip, this was the only thing open besides the coffee shop. This place is yummy, and a bit pricy.
Diamond Espresso: Drive up or Walk up; yummy, friendly and quick
when to go:
anytime! Summers are most popular; but winter is absolutely stunning.
pup friendly places:
Most of Long Beach is pup friendly. Indoor dining is not, but call ahead for patio. The beach is also pup friendly!
