Mush love for fabulous fall fungi

Coastal cranberries are here

Want to add something special to your holiday dinner spread? The cranberry harvest is in full swing, and you can now pick up fresh coastal cranberries at peninsula grocery stores and roadside stands. (Hint: they freeze well!)

Flying into fall

The peninsula sits on a major migratory flyway, which makes it a treat for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. These 5 fall hikes are perfect for birders and nature lovers alike.

Big waves are on the way

Come see why storm season is a favorite for photographers and locals alike. There's nothing quite like watching waves crash beneath the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, chasing rainbows or being wowed by sun breaks over the Pacific.

Share your storm season photos

Be sure to tag your beach rainbows and big waves with #LongBeachWA on Instagram for a chance to be featured!

Historical haunts on the peninsula

Rich in history, the peninsula is home to many ghosts. Here are some famous local ghosts to keep an eye out for.

Last year, Cape Disappointment was even featured on Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel.

Not into spooks? Don't worry. We think beach ghosts are the good kind.

Relax. The studies are out. Using your paid time off is good for you.
