Pacific Beach Explore Drive & Overnighter (09/12/2026)

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Pacific Beach Explore Drive & Overnighter

Saturday & Sunday, September 12th & 13th, 2026

HOST: TOM MILLAR

Back after growing demand, Cindy and Tom are hosting once again their Pacific Beach Explore Drive & Overnighter. This popular event will take us on a lovely curvy road through the back woods of the Mason and Grays Harbor Counties. Once we hit Aberdeen we will deviate and take the road leading to West Port Winery. The winery charges $10 for 5 tastes, which is pretty much the going rate these days. The winery has recently opened up a restaurant where you can enjoy lunch. After the winery tour/tasting, we will make the trip back to Aberdeen for food, gas, spirits and other staples. We will then depart and make our way out to Pacific Beach, passing bays and ultimately to follow the coast for a bit (keep your cameras at the ready!). Our overnight facility will be the Pacific Beach Navy Lodge and Conference Center which has rooms ranging in price from $95 - $168/night (no tax!). You are responsible for your own room and will need to reserve your room with a credit card. I will be sponsoring the group’s entry onto this military facility since I am retired Coast Guard. The Navy facility has a deli type restaurant, a full bar, bowling lanes, gourmet coffee bar and a gift shop. There are several other food venues in the surrounding area. The beach is wonderful to walk and this will be in the middle of the kite flying season! Or, you can visit the thriving metropolis of Pacific Beach! (a bit of tongue & cheek here). You may even want to purchase your own kite at the kite shop in Pacific Beach and participate in the fun! After an afternoon on the beach and taking in all the joy of typically pristine September weather, we will sit back, sip some wines and slip into some easy times. Following dinner, which is on your own at the Navy resort restaurant, we will assemble at our place which will be a house for some after-action reports on our experiences. Our ride will begin at Little Creek Casino, West State Route 108, Shelton, WA 98584, with a short driver’s meeting starting at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday. Lodging will be at the Pacific Beach Resort & Conference Center. As of now we have several rooms blocked for this event, including standard rooms and presidential suites, ranging in price between $95 and $168 per night (no tax!). Their website is: http://www.navylifepnw.com/site/68/Pacific-Beach.aspx. You will need to reserve your room using either a Visa or MasterCard. If your plans change, you have until two weeks prior to the event to cancel without a charge. The direct phone number for Pacific Beach Resort & Conference Center is: (360)276-4414 (front desk, not reservations!). When you call, you need to reference the Puget Sound Miata Club and/or Tom Millar. The early bird gets the worm on this one…book early! By the way, on Sunday we will max our check out time and plan on a leisurely drive back to civilization.

If you encounter any difficulties with making your reservations at Pacific Beach, please feel free to call or text Tom Millar at (425)623-8181 or e-mail: tmillar100451@gmail.com.
