We headed up onto Cape Meares to check out the Octopus Tree and the view.
The famous octopus tree! It has a few less limbs than when I was a kid but it’s still really cool to check out.
Looking south toward Oceanside. The hidden beach that you have to get to through the lava tube is visible from this angle.
We had a wonderful sunny day on the beach in Oceanside. It’s rare that the Oregon coast is this nice.
On the other side of Maxwell Point through the lava tube, we found a whole forest of muscles attached to the rocks.
I wonder if these guys would be tasty with butter.
Beach buddies!
These rocks remind us of the How to Train Your Dragon movies and TV show with all of the sea stacks they have.
Someone built a cool little shelter out of driftwood on the cobble beach.
We went out to Netarts for lunch at The Schooner with a great view of Netarts Bay.
There were a number of people who were crabbing around the bay. 
A very shallow boat parking area in the boat basin.
Here we are on the beach! One of our favorite spots!
Looking north and west out of Netarts Bay toward some offshore sea stacks.
