Celebrate the Fourth of July with a Culinary Journey Across the Long Beach Peninsula

Whether you’re enjoying the Fourth of July festivities in Ilwaco, Long Beach, Seaview, or Ocean Park, the Long Beach Peninsula offers a vibrant culinary scene filled with outstanding restaurants, bakeries, and food trucks. Be sure to check the restaurants because they are often closed even during JULY 4th.

Between the parades, beach activities, live entertainment, and spectacular fireworks, take time to experience some of the peninsula’s favorite dining destinations. From fresh Pacific Northwest seafood to authentic international cuisine and irresistible homemade desserts, there’s something to satisfy every appetite. I recommend starting with delicious potstickers at Formosa Bao and finishing your holiday with a slice of homemade pie from The Pie Lady right next door.

Bon appétit, and have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
