Explore Coastal Spring Break Outdoor Adventures            

A coastal spring break isn’t complete without a dose of outdoor exploration, and the Long Beach Peninsula delivers in spades. Enjoy the following activities within a few miles of our spacious suites.

Get Vitamin Sea and Enjoy Beachcombing Bliss                 

Get your dose of vitamin “sea” in our backyard. Our resort has private access directly to one of the world’s longest beaches. You can comb for shells and treasures mere steps from your front door. Spring tides reveal hidden goodies along the coast, from polished driftwood to pearly seashells and maybe even a rare piece of sea glass. Grab a bucket, roll up your sleeves, and see what the tide has left behind.

Experience Picture-Perfect Coastal Downtown                   

Downtown Long Beach is a picture-perfect small seaside town. Imagine charming shops, mom-and-pop bakeries, wooden boardwalks, and the ever-present salt-kissed air. Take a quick ride to Pacific Avenue, where you can enjoy it all.

Shop darling local boutiques featuring artisan coastal trinkets. Discover quaint cafes that dish up local seafood and produce. Visit Jake the Alligator Man at the infamous Marsh’s Museum. Grab a sack of saltwater taffy from our hometown candy shops or a double scoop of deliciousness from our local ice creameries.

And no coastal Spring Break is complete without quintessential midway fun. Get competitive and win prizes with arcade games at Funland Family Fun Center. Enjoy go-karts at the downtown speedway. Or settle in for a family movie at Neptune Movie House. Every delightful shoreline family experience you can imagine is less than a few minutes from our beautiful oceanfront resort.

Hiking the Discovery Trail                 

If you feel like taking a gentle hike, the Discovery Trail is just down the road and winds for eight miles through windswept dunes, coastal forests, and grassy bluffs. You’ll discover art installations and maybe even stumble across hidden whale bones along the way. Pack a picnic and soak up breathtaking ocean views while getting your steps in.

Wildlife Watching                 

Spring is prime time for spotting migrating gray whales off the coast and a variety of seabirds and local wildlife. Bring your binoculars and keep an eye on the horizon for these majestic creatures. It’s not unusual to see strolling deer, soaring bald eagles, sunbathing seals, and even an occasional bear. To ensure you stay out of danger during your coastal Spring Break, keep a respectable distance from any of our glorious peninsula critters.

Fly Kites in the Ocean Breeze           

The peninsula’s wide-open beaches are tailor-made for kite flying. Coastal Spring Breaks usher in refreshing winds along the shore. Pick up a colorful kite from one of the local shops and let it dance against the bright blue sky. Top off your kite-flying adventure with a visit to the World Kite Museum.

Visit Two Lighthouses and Deadman’s Cove           

Every coastal Spring Break should include a little shoreline sleuthing. Travel into Cape Disappointment State Park and journey to two stunning, working lighthouses. The Cape Disappointment and North Head Lighthouses have watched over our tempestuous coast since the mid-1800s. Along your path, take a slight detour to find the hidden Deadman’s Cove during low tide. The tranquil nook is a slippery slope down to a peaceful cove with piles of bleached driftwood tossed by the waves.
