Joe Jost’s is one of the oldest, continually-run taverns west of the Mississippi River, according to owner Ken Buck. “The business founded in 1924 by my grandfather is considered a Long Beach institution, serving the coldest beer, tastiest ‘Joe’s Special’ sandwiches, pickled eggs, fresh roasted peanuts and warmest atmosphere of any tavern in the United States,” said Buck, who admits he’s a little biased.
Snow Peak Long Beach Campfield
Winter winds still whipped off the Pacific Ocean in March when Snow Peak opened 56 tent sites in Long Beach, the eternally foggy town in southwest Washington. Wedged between chilly beach and thick forest, it provided ideal conditions for the stylish 66-year-old Japanese outdoor brand to show off its sleek camping and outdoor gear, from weatherproof tents to titanium chopsticks—available to rent by the piece or as a complete, pre-set campsite. Founded by a mountaineer in Niigata, Japan and renowned for its chic, innovative designs, Snow Peak chose Long Beach, which is driveable from Portland, Oregon and Seattle, as the site of its first U.S. campground for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities including hiking, whale-watching, kayaking, and crabbing. Though the water temperature rarely rises above a frigid 68° F, campers can cozy up in the Japanese-style Ofuro Spa, built from sustainably harvested Japanese cypress, or opt to stay in one of 14 climate-controlled Jyubako micro-cabins, designed by architect Kengo Kuma. The studios are spare and unadorned, with a platform queen bed and an option for additional sleeping mats, and come furnished with Snow Peak tables, chairs, and cookware for the kitchenette.
