The Oregon Coast, Part II

After staying in Newport for a couple of days, we headed north along the coast to Seaside, taking in the sites along the way.

Our first stop was a lookout just north of Depoe Bay. It was a beautiful morning, and we stopped to eat our breakfast. A few others were there as well, looking for whales down below.

Luckily, while driving north, we took a scene loop off the 101, which took us right by Cape Kiwanda. Unfortunately, we had missed this the last time we visited the coast. The cape and beach surrounds a huge rock out in the water called Chief Kiawanda Rock. In the picture above, you can see a small fishing boat just to the left of the rock.

The northern part of the beach features a cliff with a huge sand dune that he had to climb.

I wish we had known that such an awesome place existed, since we probably would have spent the night there. But we had to move on to Seaside, which was cool and unique it its own way.

More to come...
