The Oregon coast showcases breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, dramatic scenery of the rugged shoreline and windswept sandy beaches. There’s a paved highway that spans nearly 585 kilometers along the coastline, creating perfect conditions for a road trip with plenty of opportunities to explore.

We also hit up Presqu’ile Provincial Park and Frontenac Provincial Park to take advantage of the nice weather.
