Exploring small towns on Oregon’s coast is one of the best ways to truly appreciate the beauty of nature in the Pacific Northwest.

My wife and I recently spent two full weeks road-tripping the Southern Coast of Oregon with our two daughters. I’ll be honest, I expected to be bored. Having spent so much time in the PNW I thought that it would mainly be trees and rocky beaches. I wasn’t wrong. But I also underestimated how wildly …

My wife grew up in Washington and, despite traveling all over the PNW after getting married we always felt a bit superior when we were in Washington.
