Description
Watching the sun go down over the Pacific Ocean is always a very peaceful place to be, and being able to photograph it is a definite bonus!
This particular seascape sunset image was captured just a few miles south of the beautiful little coastal town of Waldport Oregon.
From Wikipedia:
The Oregon Coast is a coastal region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to its west and the Oregon Coast Range to the east, and stretches approximately 362 miles (583 km) from the California state border in the south to the Columbia River in the north. The region is not a specific geological, environmental, or political entity, and includes the Columbia River Estuary.
The Oregon Beach Bill of 1967 allows free beach access to everyone. In return for a pedestrian easement and relief from construction, the bill eliminates property taxes on private beach land and allows its owners to retain certain beach land rights.[1]
Traditionally, the Oregon Coast is regarded as three distinct subโregions:[2]
The North Coast, which stretches from the Columbia River to Cascade Head.
The Central Coast, which stretches from Cascade Head to Reedsport.
The South Coast, which stretches from Reedsport to the OregonโCalifornia border.[3]
The largest city is Coos Bay, population 16,700[4] in Coos County on the South Coast. U.S. Route 101 is the primary highway from Brookings to Astoria and is known for its scenic overlooks of the Pacific Ocean. Over 80 state parks and recreation areas dot the Oregon Coast. However, only a few highways cross the Coast Range to the interior: US 30, US 26, OR 6, US 20, OR 18, OR 34, OR 126, OR 38, and OR 42. OR 18 and US 20 are considered among the dangerous roads in the state.[5]
The Oregon Coast includes Clatsop County, Tillamook County, Lincoln County, western Lane County, western Douglas County, Coos County, and Curry County.
