Oregon's coastline is a treasure, and I'm told it's under-visited. Around every corner, it seems, you get a view like this.
But what really makes the coast pop, especially around central Oregon, is the dunes. They pop up when you least expect it, by the side of the road.
At times, they form a buffer between the highway and the sea. So you hang a left and check them out.
That was the ocean over there to the right in the photo above. It's still Oregon weather, after all.
And there's the ocean off to the left!
Sometimes you happen upon a river (possibly under one of Oregon's ten zillion fantastic bridges), and there's a dune on the other side.
Or maybe you're just looking for a fun winding road through some glorious dunes. Oregon has you covered there too.
On the rare stretches when you're not on the ocean, admiring possible surf breaks, you get lakes and streams and ponds like this.

Sure, the weather's not 72 and sunny every day. But there's a lot to like along Oregon's coast.
