“The aptly named Long Beach Peninsula, 28 miles of sand, stretches like a beckoning finger along the Pacific Ocean at Washington's southwest corner. You won't find games or taffy stands on the Long Beach Boardwalk, just interpretive displays about the dunes, water and wildlife. But this low-key planked pathway parallels the beach, where kite fliers congregate year-round; the Washington State International Kite Festival is Aug. 15-21.”

“The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.”

“Located on the incomparable Monterey Peninsula, Pebble was created by Jack Neville. Masters and British Open winner Mark O'Meara says he puts Pebble at the top of his list, and the par 5 18th hole defines Pebble for many television viewers: O'Meara has walked that fairway as a champion five times.”

“China stresses the need to stick to the objective of a nuclear-free peninsula, and stick to a course of dialogue and peaceful resolution, so as to preserve peace and stability on the peninsula and in the region,”
Hu Jintao
“Our pressure started catching up to them. Peninsula turned it over six times in the second and fourth quarters. They started to miss some shots.”

“It may be that the Sinai Peninsula is [Egypt's] Achilles' heel. [Terrorist groups have] gone up and down the coast and hit the main tourist resorts.”

“The suburban expansion of wholesale communities on the Peninsula and in the East Bay, where residential development is occurring, as well as rate increases passed on to these suburban customers, contributed to overall growth in the commission's revenues despite a political framework that historically included a retail rate freeze. In addition, the regional economy is stable, broadly characterized by solid employment markets, strong household wealth, and high incomes, although this is countered by a very high cost of living. About 2.4 million customers in and around San Francisco rely on water from the commission.”
