We went to Local Oceans in Newport to have lunch on our day trip to the coast. This little crab enjoyed our company until we ate him!

Checking out Thor’s Well on Cape Perpetua.
We spent some time in Oceanside today.
The surf, the sand, the storm, and the sky were absolutely gorgeous.
It doesn’t get much more gorgeous than this in Oregon.
The sound of the surf across the rock cobbles is sublime.
Heather in the lava tube that connects the beach at Oceanside to the hidden beach on the other side of Maxwell Point.
Looking through the lava tube onto the hidden beach.
Those beautiful rocks are part of the cluster off of Maxwell Point including Seal Rock, Shag Rock, Finley Rock, and Storm Rock. There are three arches out there, too.
The surf on the cobble beach is wonderful.
This jetty is the northwestern tip of Oregon. The Columbia River pumps out its mighty volume into the Pacific Ocean here.
Looking south in the general direction of the wreck of the Peter Iredale.
This would be some rough country to SCUBA dive in but in favorable sea conditions, we think it’s possible.
