a jaunt travelling south down the
Pacific Ocean coastline to affirm the Oregon Coast is a miraculous
treasure. Begin the journey at Neskowin,
and see the character and style of coastal residents.
Lincoln City has something for every age to do and see, from
examining a covered bridge built in 1914
to kite skiing the ocean to
flying kites on the sandy beach.
Move south to Newport to see the color of Wally
Walrus at the Aquarium Village or see the marine life at
Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area
- one of the most accessible wildlife viewing locations on any
coast!
Only a few miles away, North of Newport, headlands
such as Yaquina Head , will entice you to
stop and marvel at the force of the Pacific Ocean. Over the
years it has shaped the jagged rock remnants from the solid
veneer of the past.
South of the Oregon Dunes, the Southern Oregon coastal town of Coos Bay leads to Rocky Cape Arago where the Arago lighthouse keeps watch over sea travel of small boats and big ships alike. Further south in Bandon, beaches are seen from Face Rock Scenic Viewpoint as well as from the staircase of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Reserve. The Oregon Islands provides protection and nesting sites to more than a million seabirds.
Further south, Battle Rock
commemorates the historic conflict between the Indians and white
soldiers attempting to establish a settlement at what is now
Port Orford.
In Brookings, nearing the California border,
is one of many many Oregon State Parks; Take one last
look from Whaleshead Viewpoint as the
journey through Oregon's treasure draws to an end.
