Seal Rock Oregon

Seal Rock Beach is located about ten miles south of Newport, Oregon. It's a beautiful place! And, that's not even giving it justice...it's like a very special gift from above and to be cherished.

Not really a place for the sunbathers. It's more of a "get in touch with nature and yourself type of place"!

I was fortunate to get down to the beach in a minus tide, early in the morning on a beautiful day. Seal Rock has a ton of tide pools filled with Starfish, Sea Anemones, Barnacles, Mussels and so on.


The first photo here depicts some huge and black shiny seaweed that has washed into this small cove. I set my tripod low to the ground and, shot fast, because the water was coming at me.

Bandon Oregon Attractions

Bandon is located about 20 miles south of Coos Bay, Oregon. It is a small coastal and serene community and, one of the finest on the Oregon Coast.

It has a great "Old Town" setting, home to some very nice shops and restaurants. But, it's the beach area that makes it.

This post  features a few beach scenes that were taken on a beautiful morning overlooking some of "Oregon's Islands". The famous "Face Rock" is off the the left in the first photo. And, after that I did sort of a pano of the immediate beach area.

There will be more posts featuring Bandon...so, stay tuned!

Even More On Astoria Oregon

Here are some more photos taken in Astoria, Oregon on an absolutely beautiful day. The first photo is of the Columbia River Pilot House.

If you are not familiar with what a River Pilot does they kind ships at sea into the Columbia River. The Columbia River Bar is one of the most dangerous in the world. 

They climb up from the Pilot Boats to the ships and take over the controls and guide them into the Columbia River. One of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Think of climbing up in a cargo net in high seas!

More Of Astoria Oregon

More photos of Astoria, Oregon. 

The first photo is of the Wet Dog Cafe and Astoria Brewing Company (a combo thing). The second photo are freighters moored in the Columbia River with a seagull supervisor taking it all in.

The third pic is a Coast Guard Cutter and the old "Columbia Lightship". I feel that the Coast Guard is one of the most thankless jobs out there. If you have ever been across the Columbia River Bar you would understand why when they have to go out there and rescue someone.

The Columbia Lightship was once moored out at sea to guide ships into the river from the ocean. It has been replaced by a new buoy system.

The fourth and fifth photos are of the Ironwood a "Buoy Tender"! You might want to check out the link.

The final photo is a object photographed outside the Maritime Museum. I don't have a clue what it is.

Astoria Oregon

Besides Bandon and Newport in Oregon...Astoria is a must place to go to on the Oregon Coast. Lots of things to see and do...tons of things to see and do.

Since this is a photo blog, we will just say: "One of the favorite things to do is walk done the waterfront boardwalk and take pictures!" And, after you walked the entire length, you can take a trolley back to where you started.

It stretches for miles and you can take in all the commercial freighters navigating the Columbia River as they sail in from the Pacific. Take in all the cool restaurants along the way, especially the " Baked Alaska"! And, take in some neat wall murals.
