When storms meet high tides, watch out. On the 28-mile-long Long Beach Peninsula, high winds pound the dunes, especially when there’s a full moon. Check out Waikiki Beach and the lighthouses in Cape Disappointment State Park, the westernmost stop for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Long Beach is a popular year-round resort, awash in cafes, shops, lodgings and family activities. You can see storms from the boardwalk or the Discovery Trail right below it
