Oregon's south coast is no exception to the endless number of beautiful, walkable beaches, seastacks, offshore rock formations and rugged cliff scenes. State Parks are numerous as are charming towns and harbors. Rivers continue to make their way to the Pacific, and the forests are as thick with old growth as anywhere else in the state. Known and unknown, named and unnamed scenic spots await those who explore them.

I traveled Oregon's coast for two months and a week, and hit as many of the vistas and overlooks, beaches and coves as I could. I kept asking myself how any one sea stack or ocean boulder be any different than another; how could the coastline here be any different from the coastline five miles up the road. But there wasn't a time after stopping and taking it in that I didn't raise the camera to my eye simply because the view, or the rock, or the cliff was not only different, it was better.
