Memorial Day Weekend: Kicking Off Summer in Long Beach

The Queen Flamingo
May 20, 2024

Memorial Day weekend is when Long Beach really comes alive. The town shifts from quiet winter mode to full summer energy, and it's an exciting time to visit!

What's Happening in Town

  • Restaurants fully staffed: Everything's open with full menus
  • Shops open daily: Great for browsing and finding coastal treasures
  • Beach activities: Expect to see horses, kites, beach volleyball
  • Weather: Usually mid-60s – perfect for layers and beach walks

SeaQueen's Memorial Day Specials

For this weekend, I'm including:

  • Welcome bottle of local wine from Napa Cellars
  • Beach towels and chairs for your use
  • Charcoal for the outdoor grill
  • S'mores kit for the fire pit

Don't Miss These Local Spots

Saturday Morning: Hit up the Long Beach Farmers Market (seasonal produce, crafts, and breakfast)

Saturday Afternoon: Beach walk to Boardwalk, grab ice cream at Scoopers

Sunday: Brunch at The Depot Restaurant (make reservations NOW – they fill up)

Monday: Chill at the house, enjoy the hot tub, grill some burgers

Traffic Warning

I won't sugarize it – Highway 101 can get busy. My advice:

  • Arrive Friday before 3pm or after 8pm
  • Use the scenic route (Highway 4 through Naselle)
  • Stock up on groceries before you arrive
  • Plan to stay put once you're here

Still Available?

We had a last-minute cancellation, so Memorial Day weekend is actually OPEN! First come, first served. Message through Vacasa to book.

Summer at SeaQueen is truly special – the house was designed for this season. Can't wait to host you!
