Creator's Key Takeaways

The Oregon coast has so much to offer. It is truly magic.

The setting sun with the giant sea stacks made this location absolutely spectacular and hard to top.

In our opinion, this is the best hike along the Oregon coast and should not be missed.

The campground here was our favorite of the entire trip.
