Excerpted from the website:
- The Oregon Coast
- The Oregon Coast is a 350-mile feast of things to do and see, from museums and lighthouses to trails and dunes. Starting at the northernmost point, the City of Astoria is situated on the Oregon shore of the Columbia River. From the waterfront, you may visit the Columbia River Maritime Museum, which features a lightship or cross the 4-mile-long Astoria-Megler Bridge to Washington. Also worth a visit is the 125-foot Astoria Column, painted with scenes of Astoria's history. Travel seven miles south to see the log stockade where Lewis and Clark spent the long, rainy winter of 1805-06 at Fort Clatsop, now a national memorial. Nearby Fort Stevens, a state park complete with a shipwreck, bunkers and a military museum, guarded the mouth of the Columbia from the Civil War until the end of WW II. Between the resort town of Seaside and the smaller, more upscale boutiques of Cannon Beach is Tillamook Head with Ecola State Park at its crest, offering picnic spots, viewpoints and trails.
