We manage to make at least one trip a year to the Oregon coast and it never disappoints. Springtime visits are my favorite. You never know what the late winter storms will have churned up on the beach. The weather is often unpredictable but we seem to always manage at least a bit of sun here and there in between the wind and the rain (and sometimes hail).
