A Bit on Oregon
The state of Oregon is probably the best kept secret in the United States. Unparalleled natural beauty, which includes a great coastline of wide, sandy beaches and rocky surroundings, makes one wonder as to why Oregon isn’t a traveler favorite. For those people who have been smart enough to take a trip up to the Pacific Northwest’s coastal towns, it’s no secret. Here’s a few suggestions for your next beach vacation to Oregon:
1. Pick a spot - Pretty self-explanatory here, if you’ve made the decision to get off your rear and head out to the Oregon coast, you’re going to need to find the right spot to hit. Here at CoastRentals, we are privy to a large variety of information and lodging options for the interested traveler. And when it comes to Oregon, there are a few “big” spots that most people should visit. Cannon Beach, which is in the most northwest corner of the state, is a perfect option for someone who likes to take in the natural setting of the beach in the “purest” form. Cannon is a popular destination that will let you get away from it all, stroll the beach and peak out at Haystack Rock, a 234-foot rock just offshore.
Want to do something a little less ordinary? Try heading to Oceanside, OR in the winter for some great agate hunting/collecting. Oceanside and Newport are both top spots for this fun little endeavor.
If you’re more of the adventurer (and aren’t too excited by the prospect of digging up mollusks in Oceanside or Newport), Gold Beach is the spot for you. Kayak, hike, run the beach, windsurf, heck, fly a kite! Gold Beach is our pick for the most active-friendly Oregon coastal spot.
In truth, no matter the things you like to do while on vacation, Oregon has a lot to offer. Up and down Highway 101, small beach towns and enclaves combine to make up America’s hidden coastal treasure - Oregon. To see a full list of our vacation rentals here at CoastRentals in Oregon, head here.
