Northern Oregon Coast
Cannon Beach from Ecola State Park after a drive through an old growth Sitka spruce forest.
Looking down on Manzanita Beach from Neahkahnie Mountain
From Tillamook there is an hour long Three Cape Scenic drive of Cape Meares, Cape Lookout, and Cape Kiwanda.
Cape Meares Light House with interpretive information, bird watching with volunteers, and the Octopus Tree a short walk away.
The small beach town of Oceanside is next with a tunnel thru the headland leading to a private beach
Next is Cape Kiwanda snd the little beach town of Pacific City.
I used to pack my wetsuit and surf here in my mid-sixties, but age has thinned my blood. The sea water temperature here in July ranges between 48 and 55. Add some clouds and a little wind and it’s really cold. Hats off to the locals for braving it summer and winter.
Pacific City’s sea stack. You can see Grey Whales here. Just watch for their spout then train your binoculars on that spot. Whale watching tours are available just south of here at Depoe Bsy.
