OREGON COASTAL TOWNS
Shakespear Festival and Beaches:Pacific Coast Hiway 101 will lead you to the Pacific rain forest country. Along the coastal towns there are list of places to visit such as: The Yaquina Head Lighthouse near Newport along the Oregon coast features tours. Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach is in the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and is home to gulls and puffins. One of the many lovely spots.
Sightseeing:
If you love nature and natural beauty environment, you will like the Pacific scenery in Oregon better than anywhere else on the West Coast. In the fog and rain, it is blissfully gorgeous. Whenever the sun does shine of course, makes it even better. The only place on earth with comparable sea stacks is the southcoast of Australia.
Some of the most spectacular -and popular- vista spots are along the coast between Lincoln City and Florence, and the scenery is spectacular from 50 miles or so going north from California. Probably the best view on the whole coast is at the Cape Perpetu, a Scenic Area just south of the Yachats. The view takes in 150 miles of coastline.
Good restaurants:
Restaurants and bars or pubs in Oregon is right up there with California, especially in Pacific Rim and West Coast nouveau cuisine. The growing excellence of the state's wineries, coupled with abundant supply of oceanic catches, means a chance to eat well while staring at all those gorgeous sea stacks.
Whales:
The cetacean freeway from Alaska to the Baja runs, as you may already know, past all the U.S. West Coast states. And all three claim to be the whale watching capitals of the earth. Oregon gets high marks because there are a ton of state parks and vista points high on the coast.
