LONG BEACH, Wash. Pack your camera, sunglasses, a good pair of walking shoes, and plenty of cash for the Worlds Longest Beach Garage Sale on the Long Beach Peninsula. For more than twenty years, thousands of folks have come to the Long Beach Peninsula over Memorial Day Weekend for the annual 28-mile, fun-filled garage sale. This outrageously fun event has steadily grown with steals and deals around every corner and along every block.
Beginning Friday, May 25th and continuing through Monday, May 28th, youll find locals and part-timers selling stuff theyve accumulated throughout the years, non-profit organizations who have gathered items from their members as well as a few professional dealers and vendors selling merchandise.
No need for the local papers listing of sales, you can really just drive and look for hundreds of signs lining the main road. In fact, there is no comprehensive list of all the sales and weve never met anyone who has managed to cover every sale on the Long Beach Peninsula in one weekend as there are so many sales!
Be prepared to discover some neat places, interesting people and quaint stops. In fact, groups show up each year who are engaged in listed treasure hunts, photo scavenger hunts and other fun activities that have nothing to do with actually shopping.
