Years in the making, we finally made our way to the Oregon Coast for an adventure of a lifetime! Something i've wanted to do for years all packed into this one video!
We begin our trip starting at the most northwestern city in Oregon, Astoria. Astoria is a quant and beautiful town that has a lot to offer. We stayed here for 2 nights camping at Fort Stevens State Park but we could have easily spent a week here with how much the area has to offer. We were able to explore the historic downtown area of Astoria, ride the orginal Astoria Riverfront Trolly, Visit the Shipwreck Beach and the Astoria Column. There was more but i'll save that for the video. I really wish we could have stayed another couple of nights because we did miss a few things that I would have like to do.
From there we spent 2 nights at Wright's For Camping in Cannon Beach. We mostly picked it because it was within walking distence to the famous Haystack Rock but we never realize how close the town of Seaside, Oregon or even Astoria was to Cannon Beach. Either way Haystack Rock is iconic for representing the Oregon Coast and it den't disappoint. It's larger then pictures do it judicious and we spent a while here admire the beach.
From there we explore more of the area stumbling across Arcadia Beach State Recreation Site. This was definitely a hidden gem of the Oregon Coast. Miles of picturesque sandy beaches, rocky cliffs and all inspiring rocks that make for wonderful photos.
Oswald West State Park was nice, i'm sure there's some great hiking trails in and around here but we found it to be mostly a surfing beach.
Hug Point State Recreation Site is a must visit at low tide. There's lot of history in the area but combining it with the Oregon Coast and it makes it a must see. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see it at low tide but I showed you what I could in the video.
From there 2 nights was spent at Cape Lookout State Park just outside Tillamook, Oregon. The area around here felt more natural and less touristy. Here is where we hit 2 spots I wanted to see while visiting the Oregon Coast. Tunnel Beach and Short Beach. I feel like the video sums it up well so i'll refer you to it.
I know I missed some spots and left some things out so you'll have to watch the video to find out the rest. If you're still reading this thanks for watching =)
