As the summer sun blazes and city streets sizzle, a serene escape awaits where the waves kiss the shore and the air carries the whisper of the ocean. Imagine a place where the worries of daily life melt away like footprints in the sand. Welcome to the Lighthouse Oceanfront Resort in Long Beach, a haven of tranquility and cool coastal comfort. Tucked away along the stunningly picturesque Long Beach Peninsula, our resort offers an idyllic retreat that promises relaxation and adventure. Here, the pace of life slows, and you can savor every moment in a sanctuary of laid-back luxury and beachfront charm. We are the perfect place to beach the heat and spend your summer on the Washington coast.
Coastal Chill
Summer on the Washington coast is the perfect place to beach the heat because of our coastal climate. Unlike the sweltering inland cities, Long Beach enjoys a temperate atmosphere, with daytime highs rarely exceeding the mid-70s and nighttime temps floating in the 40s. So, bring your bathing suit and your hoodie!
Cheerful, buttery sunshine days can include an occasional moody sky and welcomed summer rain. The brisk sea air ensures you stay comfortable as you explore our coastal gem of a region during the day. Evenings are perfect for cozying up by a bonfire on the beach with the stars twinkling overhead like scattered seashells.
Cool is Around the Corner
While the temperatures are mild, the fun is anything but! Summer on the Washington coast is brimming with cool activities for all ages. Whether you love outdoor adventure, live music, family-friendly activities, historic spots, or charming small-town vibes, you’ll find it less than 15 minutes from our resort.
You’re just down the road from the charming streets of downtown Long Beach. Stop by BOLD for a refreshing iced coffee and peruse their gallery of hundreds of local artists and makers. Stroll on the boardwalk or Discovery Trail as it winds over the sea dunes along the Pacific Ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for scattered Lewis and Clark art and hidden whale bones in the whispering beach grass.
You can be in Ilwaco in less than 15 minutes. This quintessential fishing village has one of the last working docks in the country. Amble along the airy waterfront and watch the colorful boats bob in the water. Enjoy the outdoor Ilwaco Saturday Market, where you can stock up on fresh produce and local wares for snacks when you get back to the resort.
Cape Disappointment is just around the bend from the port. Enjoy numerous hikes, two lighthouses, incredible exhibits, and live music surrounded by evergreen forests and the crashing Pacific Ocean.
Chill Out Onsite
Alternatively, if you’d rather stay at the resort, we have plenty of ways for you to beach the heat here! Grab your towel and float in our indoor saline pool. Make a reservation for the onsite barrel sauna. Pick up a paddle or a racket and join in pickleball or tennis fun at our 13,200-square-foot tennis center. Or enjoy the lazy dog days of summer by taking naps with your pooch in our dog-friendly rooms.
Backyard Beach Breezes
It’s easy to beach the heat in our resort during your summer on the Washington coast because our 28-acre oceanfront resort property also has direct beach access.
Wake up and fall asleep to the gentle lull of the ocean, mere steps from most of our 42 suites. Large windows frame breathtaking views of the Pacific, so you can sip your coffee on your private balcony while watching seagulls glide gracefully over the waves. Open the windows and let the briny breeze waft in. The sweet scent of the sea will add to the aroma of whatever you’re whipping up in the full kitchens found in every suite.
Slip on your sandals and grab your dog for a seaside stroll along the 28 miles of beach. Our town is known for one of the world’s longest beaches, so you can do plenty of refreshing open-air wandering.
Beach the Heat Here
Spend your summer on the Washington coast, where the days are long, the nights are a symphony of the ocean’s lullaby, and each moment is a cherished memory in the making. Here, you can truly beach the heat and embrace the tranquility and beauty of coastal living.
