Sunday on the Oregon Coast


We went down to Newport on Sunday to see my dad for his birthday. On the way we stopped at Fogerty Creek State Park. It's not a place we've ever visited before and it's certainly not noticable when you're driving on 101.

I think it's going to be one of our favorite beaches from now on! It's gorgeous! The sand is actually granular and doesn't get in your shoes like most of the other beaches, there are cliffs and rock outcrops and a stream. It looks like a good wading beach on hot days too!

I didn't take any photos of the actual park, but on the other side of the highway there are picnic benches in case it's too windy to eat lunch on the beach! I'm so excited to spend a few more hours here to explore!!

For a really early bday present my dad gave Owen a kite, so on the way home we stopped to fly it and also take in the sunset in Newport!
