Skynnard's Lens Photography by Linda Aaron

One mile north of Depoe Bay, Oregon is the rugged and wild Boiler Bay State Park. Boiler Bay was named for a ship  the J. Marhoffer which sank in 1910.  The Marhoffer was on its way to Portland and after running aground sank, you can still see the boiler which is visible at low tide.

The wave are very dramatic at this picturesque  location and you will definitely want to make it a stop when you find yourself on the Oregon Coast.

The quaint little beach town of Oceanside is located just south of  Tillamook Oregon on the coast. This part of the Three Capes scenic route is one of my favorites and our family has been visiting this area since my children were little girls.

This photograph was taken on the other side of the beach that is only accessible at low tide.  At the end of the beach is a man-made tunnel which is cut through the cliffs and when you emerge on the other side, this is the extraordinary view.  Feels a little bit prehistoric.
