NIce! We went to the Oregon Aquarium in Newport, had fish and chips at Moe's, then to the beach to fly kites in Lincoln City, and ended with ice cream at Tillamook cheese factory

Costal trips are good times!

If you take Hwy 18 to Lincoln City, stop at the Otis Cafe. It's located less than ten miles from Lincoln City. Strangely, it's world-renowned and has been well-patronized even when Lincoln City was suffering economically back in the '80s. It looks like a little greasy spoon, but the food is awfully good and really pretty cheap. Be prepared to wait a bit for a table, though, unless you stop in at an off hour.

Frommer's article

I've only been to thecoast twice in the last two years, and it was the same beach. Both times it was camping around Memorial Day in the Barview/Rockway area, which I do most years. I have access to my co-worker's beach house (well, marsh house) near Pacific City, so I'm not sure why I haven't taken advantage of it more than once, two years ago. Maybe it was the spiders.
