The holidays officially begin on the Long Beach Peninsula when Santa arrives to greet the community. Bring the kids, join the festive welcome, and enjoy the seasonal cheer of this beloved Washington coast tradition.
It's a heartwarming kickoff to the holidays by the sea. The Long Beach Peninsula takes on a cozy charm in winter, with its miles of open beach and small-town warmth — pair Santa's arrival with a stormy beach walk and a warm meal for a magical seasonal getaway.
