Long Beach is a city in Pacific County, Washington, United States. It is the home of Northwestern pop cultural phenomenon Jake the Alligator Man. Long Beach began when Henry Harrison Tinker bought a land claim from Charles E. Reed in 1880. He platted the town and called it "Tinkerville."[5] Long Beach was officially incorporated on January 18, 1922. From 1889 to 1930, a narrow gauge railroad called the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company ran up the whole peninsula.
