This is promoted as the longest beach in the nation.  It is 28 miles long but I think probably not the longest. According to Wikipedia it is the second longest drive-able beach, second to Cox's Bazar beach in Bangladesh.   This shot from the south ends.  Two or three miles north of here they have a sand castle building contests as well as kit flying contest.   There is a lot of clam digging here during the right season.  It has been almost loved to death in recent past.  It is now undergoing a major restoration of the beach grasses to prevent erosion from winds and waves.  People who drive on the beach have to be careful not to get stuck in an incoming tide.  The original five digital photo panorama was 180" x 21".
