Oregon Coast

Here in Oregon we don’t call the beach the beach, we call it the coast.

That’s because the beaches on the Oregon coast are sandy dunes so high and wide that to call them mere beaches would be an insult. Other parts are covered by the docks of working ports, host to fishing boats bringing fresh sustainable seafood to market.

Still other beaches are atop sheer cliffs rising straight out of the ocean, and are topped with hiking trails, lighthouses and some of the finest golf courses in the world.

But the best things about our beaches, which we call the coast, is that every inch of all 363 miles of it are completely free for all of us of to use.
