The smell of salty air. Sand between your toes. Pine trees dotting the hills behind you. The Oregon coast offers its own unique kind of beach charm. Sure, you'll hear about fog and cold wind that can sneak up on you, but I personally found July to be the perfect month to enjoy sun, gorgeous waves, and kites as far as the eye can see.
When we weren't playing at the beach, we amused ourselves at local hangouts, including an incredible antiques mall, breweries, seafood restaurants, and (my cousin's favorite) the nearby Pig 'N Pancake.
Huh. Notice how three out of four locations I listed were food joints. Coincidence? I think not.
If you ever find yourself along this scenic coast, make sure to stop in towns such as Newport (home of Rogue), Depoe Bay, Lincoln City, and Pacific City. I know you'll fall in love.
