At low tide on the Oregon coast you can walk out onto some of the large rocks in the ocean that are surrounded by water when the tide is higher. I took the above picture from one of those rocks. I was quite surprised to find a living friend out there who didn’t have wings and can’t swim (as far as I know). I’ll show you him next time.
My kids enjoying the surf at Harris Beach in late October
The path down to Harris Beach in Brookings offered amazing views. The temperature was a balmy 70-something degrees in late October, and there was none of the normal, biting wind. Both sides of the walking path were covered in berry bushes. The fruit was gone, but the leaves were still bright green. The sun was so bright that the greenness sort of gets drowned out in the above photograph. In person, the contrasts between the green of the bush leaves and the blue of the ocean and sky were stunning.
Although not quite as pretty or secluded as Harris Beach, which we found on Sunday, Sporthaven Beach, just south of the harbor in Brookings was still very nice on Saturday.
I just got back from two days in and around Brookings, Oregon. I have been to the Oregon coast many, many times, but this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had there. Usually it is windy and/or cold and/or raining and/or foggy. And usually it’s not just one of those; pick two or three and you’ll have a better picture.
Not this time. It was beautiful. No wind. No clouds. No fog. 70 degrees both days.
I’ll have some more pictures from the trip during the next week or so.
