Oregon Coast Vacation
The
Oregon Coast is 363 miles of rugged natural coastal beauty, from long
sandy beaches and teeming Tide-pools to crashing waves against monolith
rock. Beaches guarded by coast rain forests with rushing wild and
scenic rivers. Sunsets of only the kind that the sun meeting the coast
could create to awesome winter storms with pounding surf, migrating
deep-sea giants, spouting Grey Whales. It is hard to pick a favorite or
most beautiful season here on the Oregon Coast, it is a natural
wonderland.
Roosevelt
Elk (the worlds largest Elk) populate the headlands and rainforests
over looking the rugged Oregon Coast line; Sea Birds keep the feeling
of life of the natural type is thriving wherever you look. Great runs
of King Salmon and Steelhead enter rivers and estuaries all up and down
the Oregon Coast. These great rivers are only a few miles apart, cross
one river on your journey and you will soon find another.
The
Beaches on the entire coast are public property. In 1967 the "Oregon
Beach Bill" was enacted under then Governor Tom McCall, it decreed that
all land within sixteen vertical feet of the average low tide mark
belongs to the people of Oregon. "Oregon's Beach Bill" guarantees the
public has free and uninterrupted use of the beaches along Oregon's 363
miles of coastline. A state easement exists up to the line of
vegetation. Only one other state, Hawaii, guarantees public access from
the surf line to the vegetation line. The Beach Bill also directed that
the ocean shore be administered as a state recreation area. The Oregon
Parks and Recreation Department is charged with the protection and
preservation of the recreation, scenic, and natural resource values
found on the Oregon Coast shoreline.? This means on your Oregon Coast
Vacation you are welcome to Oregon beaches like nowhere else in the
country.
