You can add a touch of seaside in any home, as easy as a couple of starfishes and glass floats!

We made it to Oregon!

The southern coast is beautiful, wild, and seems so untouched by mankind. Jagged cliffs plummet to the churning sea below. It is offseason, and is nearly deserted. It was not uncommon for ours to be the only footprints in the sand on the beaches. For the past 12 days, we have been pretty much disconnected from cell phones, internet, and television (not by choice!), since the areas we have been staying are a bit isolated. 

We spent 4 days in Gold Beach, Oregon at an RV park that was only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Gold Beach is only about 60 miles north of the California border, and is a sleepy little town. It was a great location - we could hear the ocean at night, got in plenty of walking on the beach, and took advantage of some nearby hikes.

The first day we got there, the weather was typical for the Oregon Coast. Overcast, foggy, kinda misty, and cold. But even so, the place is magical. I mean, don't get me wrong, we love love love it so much when the sun comes out, but the low-lying fog and mist just make the coast seem surreal and even a little spooky (in a non-scary way - does that make sense?)

  Then, day 2, the sun came out and blessed our cold bones. It's almost like you are in an entirely different place when the sun shines here. We started combing the beach for shells, rocks, agates, and glass floats. We didn't find any great shells or agates, but did find some sea glass and 2 glass floats.

These glass floats are donated and hidden by volunteers, and are used to promote tourism. If you find one, you show it to the visitor center and they enter you into a drawing for a prize. But, best of all, you get to keep the floats!

  This is Arch Rock, aptly named. It's best seen at low tide, and I think we were still a few hours away from the lowest tide, but you can definitely see the arch.

This bay sits just north of Arch Rock. There is a nice beach you can hike down to

The surrounding coast and rock formations near Arch Rock should not be missed either.

  The rest of these pictures were taken at Pistol River State park - beautiful rock formations! We were there at low tide, and the views were so amazing.

Looking south down the coast

You can barely see it, but there was a big hole in the rock straight ahead. Much larger in real life.

Weeds and driftwood - still pretty if you ask me.

We did find some footprints...
