Oregon Coast - Beautiful & Cold

We moved on to Newport OR which is on the Pacific Coast in central portion of the OR.  We expected it to be cool, but not as cold as it was!  WE stayed on the beach at a beautiful state park immediately south of Newport OR.
Tide up - this is an island with a tree!
Beautiful rocky beaches
Some more dynamic beach landscape
A pretty inlet!
This was a cold and gloomy day!

Sandy beach, but lots of stuff
Horse riding on the beach was a big thing!
Wreck diving on the beach!
Temp was about 60 degrees at noon in mid-July!

We enjoyed our stay but were ready to leave after a week of 56-60 degree days, more often wet and foggy then sunny!  The coastal mountain range holds the cold from the Pacific Ocean close and sun  never really warms it up or at least not in July when we were there!




Always at home no matter where we are!
