Landing on the Beach at Copalis State Airport

Landing in my Cessna 172 Skyhawk II on the hard sandy beach at Copalis State Airport on the Pacific Coast of Washington State. Located at the mouth of the Copalis River, Copalis is a unique airport. It is the only known beach airport in the United States, and is the only stretch of ocean beach in Washington where landing is legal. The runway is the 4500 foot stretch of ocean beach from the Copalis River on the south to the rocks a mile north.

Thanks to Ben for shooting the video while I landed the plane.
