Wednesday Wandering: Cannon Beach and Hug Point, OR, Part 4

Thank you for joining me for Wednesday Wandering.

Today’s wandering will start on the northern Oregon Coast and drive south.

 

 

One thing that stands out about the beach, from Warrenton down to Gerhart, is that it is so wide and you can drive from one town to another ON THE BEACH. Coming from spending summers in Sea Isle City, NJ where the beach might be 100 foot wide due to erosion, it was pretty cool to just drive down the beach in a convertible. Not to mention that the beach was deserted at the time so we had it all to ourselves.

 

 

A bit farther south we find this spectacular view from an overlook. I love that the photo came out this way straight out of the camera. No filter was added.  Variations of blue.

 

 

At Cannon Beach we will stop and take the obligatory photo of Haystack Rock. (I wasn’t overly impressed by it.)

 

 

and its surrounding rocks…

 

 

And looking northward we can see Tillamooke Lighthouse off shore in the distance.

 

 

Driving a bit farther south we come to Hug Point State Park.

 

 

 

 

Join me next wednesday and we will go to Falcom Point overlook as we continue wandering down the coast of Oregon.
