The Oregon Coast is a beautiful as well as relaxing place to vacation. There are relaxing beaches, beautiful views and other interesting sites to see. There are animals and birds such as seagulls, sea lions and of course several different kinds of fish. There are also many things to do such as kite flying, fishing, boating and more. Don’t forget the interesting things to see as well such as the shops, museums, art galleries, parks and more.

One of the most popular cities to visit along the Oregon Coast is Newport. There are free things to do such as visiting the art galleries and shops along the bay front. You may also see the sea lions and other birds while sitting on the docks. There is also the Hatfield Marine Science Center with interesting movies on sharks whales and other things. They also have starfish and other interesting things you can look at and touch. They even have a real octopus. Things that cost money but are still worth seeing are the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Ripley’s and the Wax Works. If you want fresh taffy and caramel corn be sure to visit the Newport Candy Shop.

There are other neat cities to visit such as Bandon, Lincoln City, Florence and more. Lincoln City is about an hour past Newport. There are lots of things going on such as kite flying contests, sand castle competitions, cook offs and more. Be sure to visit the art galleries and the North Lincoln County Museum. Another great place to shop is the Tanger Outlets. They have lots of cool stores like the Nike Shoe Factory, OshKosh B’ Gosh, Wilson’s Leather and more. There are also neat places to eat such as Sweet Delights, Snack City, Le Gourmet Chef and more.

Don’t miss staying in Bandon at the Inn at Face Rock. They have nice rooms and friendly staff. The beach is right outside your door. To me Bandon has some of the prettiest beaches. There is also a downtown with neat shops and food. Be sure to try Cranberry Sweets. They give free samples of all kinds of sweets. They mostly have fruit filled things but there are some things such as the mint bark and chocolate candies that do not have fruits in them.
