We headed on down to Newport to check out the tide pools on Yaquina Head. The whole area is a beautiful monument to what it means to be an Oregonian.
Nearby Yaquina Head is also stunning.
Down at the tide pools. Unfortunately they often get sanded in and aren’t as productive as when they were originally created by the BLM as a wheelchair-accessible tide pool area.
Here’s where the water comes in and out.
Lots of big rocks here. They once used to mine gravel.
On the beach looking north toward Yaquina Head and the lighthouse.
