Huge waves crashing on the beach, causing the closure of sections of highway and damage to businesses in the area.

What a day to be at the Oregon Coast!

The drive from Lincoln City to Newport in mid-January was “exciting’ with heavy rains and wind.

Sometimes, the most enjoyable time to visit the Oregon coast is when you’re exposed to the  elements at their rawest.
