New App for Smart Phones

If you have a smart phone, such as an iPhone, Blackberry or Droid, you now have a new way of accessing visitor information in Long Beach, Washington.

The city has installed a series of small signs throughout the city that have QR codes, a type of barcode that can be scanned by smart phones. The codes provide the user with instant access to information on 29 points of interest in the area, including the “World’s Largest Frying Pan,” the World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame and a gray whale skeleton.  The QR code project also includes a self-guided smart phone tour of Discovery Trail, which winds along an 8.5-mile coastal path. For more information on the QR codes in Long Beach, visit m.funbeach.com.
