This
Gallery is
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 and includes pieces of the entire Oregon coast (nearly 2000 small islands, rocks, reefs, 2 headlands) that make up the Oregon coastline. 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. |
