Blanche & Lucy see the many faces of the Oregon Coast

We discovered that the Oregon coastline has many faces... in this segment we'll show you the variety of coastal scenes that we saw.
This was the first bridge we crossed as we drove into Oregon from Washington.

Foggy coastline and cold sweatshirts were not unusual here
These beautiful huge rocks in the ocean were my favorite sights.
If you double click on this image you will see the a boy and dog in the water and a girl sitting on the rock enjoying the waves - gives you a little perspective on the size of these rocks.

Many areas along the Oregon coast reminded us of the Bar Harbor Maine coastline.

We decided that we wanted to visit those folks in the houses on the edge of the coast.



Here are more of the rocky coastal areas we loved.
This beautiful bridge crossed over the Yaquina Bay in Newport, OR.

This is Agate Beach which had these wonderful sand dunes shaped by the wind.

The sand was soft and powdery and reminded me of a puffy 'pillow top' mattress.
After seeing all the different types of coasts here in Oregon - my favorite was still the beautiful 'sea stack rocks' - like big beached 'dinosaurs' in the shallow ocean water.
