Oregon Coast

After spending a week in Alaska this July I have about 5 days to explore the Oregon Coast. Any suggestions of places to try to get to?

Cannon Beach with Haystack Rock, Yaquina Bay Lighthouse (Newport) & also hit the Oregon Aquarium & the Mark O Hatfield Marine Science Center, Ecola State Park, Yachats (central coast) for the best of the Oregon coast & Florence (southern Oregon) for the Dunes.

I recommend Heceta Head light house near Florence Oregon. If you stay in Florence your will be able both evening and sunrise pictures.

Actually Heceta Head is closer to YachatsÂ…but that is a good suggestion.

Shoot, just start at the Ore.Wash border and work your way down. If you don't make it all the way, next time pick up where you left off this time. Make sure to stop and the cheese factory in Tillamook , great cheese curds there!!!!

Have to agree. There is so much to see and photograph along the Oregon coast that it's almost pointless trying to suggest a comprehensive list. For every ten places one could suggest, there are another ten of equal interest that could be suggested in their place. Best strategy is just to head out, drive at a pace that is relaxing, and soak up the sites. Just take a good supply of memory cards! 😃

I have had more fun at The Shore Acres as there are gardens and ponds and statues and right up on the edge of a high ridge facing the shore on one side! Plus the fog always completes the mood. Enjoy!

As Jim said, there many great photo opportunities on the Oregon coast. It would help to know what area of the coast you are going to. North, central, and south are unique.

You will have no choice but to drive at a relaxing pace. :wink:
Highway 101 is a hilly, winding, usually two-lane highway. In July you'll frequently be plugging along at 30 mph behind an army of RV's until you get to a passing lane. Allow extra time for travel and enjoy!

If you get down to the southern coast it's just a short drive to Crater Lake Nat Park. Really a "must" see if you visit Oregon.
