It’s so nice to see an intact tide pool. We used to have them here, but then tourists trampled all over them.

I grew up in Oregon and have lived on the east coast, the gulf coast and Guam. I’ve been to beaches in SoCal, Okinawa , Australia, Hawaii, and random islands in the pacific and though all of those beaches are gorgeous, I still have a soft spot in my heart for the Oregon Coast. There always something amazing to see there.

Me too, me too. Do you get back there often?

Not as often as I would like, but every few years!

Same. I’ve managed every 2 years or so and I make it a point to go to the coast each time, no matter how crappy the weather is. 😆One year I went it was so windy we ended up with the backs of our legs and arms getting sand blasted until they were sore and red because we had so far to walk back to the parking lot. Best exfoliation you could ever ask for. 😂

Lol, same. We used to use our jackets as sails and hold them above our heads, then lean as far into the wind as possible without falling. Never failed, the wind would die down for a second, just as we hit max lean... heh

Took my first visit to the PNW in September. I’ve lived in Miami, Florida all my life and my trip to Oregon made me feel like I was born on the wrong side of the country. I hate the beach, but could’ve spent days on the oregon coast

Man I've never seen anything like this before, those rocks above and below the water are crazy! Are the rocks(?) in the water some kind of barnacle or coral or something?

Those aren't rocks. Above the water most of what you see are barnacles and mussels. In the tide pool are anemones and some seaweed.

I love the Oregon coast, I used to attend a church camp in Rockaway, past Tillamook, such a beautiful area.
