Kite-Flying on Long Beach, Washington
The beach at Long Beach, WA, is a perfect spot for flying kites. For starters, (as its name suggests) the beach is long, wide and relatively flat. More important, because the town sits on a peninsula in the southwest corner of the state, wind is always whipping off the Pacific, providing ideal conditions for keeping canvas kites aloft. Kite-flying in these parts is so renowned that local chambers of commerce band together to sponsor the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. Long Beach itself is even home to the World Kite Museum, an informative facility started by kite enthusiasts in the 1980s that also sells hundreds of specimens for those visitors who come unprepared.
