About
Longbranch Dock is a public ocean beach in Washington, about a mile from the town of Longbranch. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on visiting for time on the shore rather than in the water. A fee is charged to use the beach. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 76°F with only four or five wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 or more days. Several trails lie within a short drive. Andy's Marine Park Trail is about 4.4 miles away, and the Deweyert-Clausen Trail and Andy's Wildlife Trail Northern Route are each about 4.5 miles off. The Four Cedars Trail Loop is roughly 6.3 miles away.
