Visitor Tips and News About Copalis State Beach Airport
Following are Copalis State Beach Airport reports and tips that were sent in by RoadsideAmerica.com visitors. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip or update.
Copalis Beach, Washington - Copalis State Beach Airport The only beach airport in the lower 48 states. Small planes land right on the sand! The "facilities" consist of a wind sock and a sign identifying the place. There is no access to the road or place to park your plane overnight, so aerial visitors must just stop by for the day to enjoy the beach. Nearby are the Copalis River and Copalis Rock, a small, isolated sea stack rock. [Bob Kelly, 03/11/2008][RA: For roadtrippers skeptical about ground access (like us), Bob assures: "The beach, in fact, is an official state highway. 100 years ago there were no roads in the area. The beach was the road."]
