Long Beach, Washington has the Worlds Longest Beach and a host of exciting group tour itineraries.
On the coast of Washington State is the small town of Long Beach with big experiences for groups! Ragan Myers, Tourism and Events Coordinator for Long Beach Package Travel said In addition to 28 miles of gorgeous shoreline, 10 museums, and award-winning dining, we offer nearly 20 thoughtfully crafted itineraries. And we include concierge style assistance for groups that overnight in Long Beach. Myers helps tour operators find group rates for lodging, dining, and customizes itineraries. She even helps plan a Mayors Red-Carpet Welcome. When a tour bus arrives, she rolls out a 6-foot red carpet before visitors disembarking the bus are greeted by the mayor or other community representatives. Guests have giggled as they step off the bus, saying they feel like royalty. In a way, they are, said Myers. Each group of visitors is important to our community.
