West of Astoria, Oregon, on the wide and well-preserved historic beaches along Fort Stevens State Park, a visitor may be surprised to find the remains of a shipwreck from 1906. The Peter Iredale, once a 300-foot-long wooden sailing ship with four tall masts, is now only the skeletal remains of its iron hull sticking out of the sand.

Exploring the areas around Cape Henlopen and Rehoboth Beach…

Walking along the multicolored sandstone cliffs above crashing waves never gets old..

In November 2017 I visited Oceanside, Oregon, a beautiful little town tucked below Cape Meares. Netarts is to the south and the Tillamook Bay to the east. I've stopped here many times over the years and have never been disappointed by the experience...

Truly spectacular ocean views combine with truly spectacular sandstone formations, wow...
