Chrissy and I (and Pretzel) finally took some time off and made it down to the Oregon coast this past week. We traveled to the coast down through Portland, and then west. Our first stop was Newport, OR, where we stayed for a couple of days.

Our first stop was Beverly Beach, which lies north of Newport and south of Otter Rock. We wanted to stretch our legs a bit after finally reaching the coast. An old wooden chair awaited us on the cliffs down to the beach.

Oregon is extremely dog friendly when it comes to beaches, so Chrissy and Pretzel did their Bo Derek thing. You can see the Yaquina Head Light to the far right.

We made it to our hotel, which lies right next to Agate Beach. While there were plenty of people at the beach, we saw only a few people swimming. Apparently, the ocean was deemed too cold to swim in by the tourists and locals, but that didn't stop us. Years of swimming in Lake Huron as kids has turned our blood blue. Afterwards, we hit the streets to get some seafood.

After getting some cod, fried Yaquina oysters, and chowder from the Chowder Bowl in Newport, we headed back to our hotel. We were met with somewhat of rare sunset over Agate Beach.

We went out onto the dunes of Agate Beach and watched the sunset. All in all, it was a great first day in Oregon.
More to come...
