Seal Rock, Oregon

Seal Rock, OregonSeal Rock is located between Newport and Waldport. With spectacular ocean views A favorite spot is the paved path and overlook at Seal Rock State Park where a pair of binoculars might allow you to catch a view of migrating whales or sea birds setting up house .

North and south of Seal Rock, the scenery gives way to an abundance of lush, green forests and gnarled, twiny, wind-swept trees. This species is obviously bent inland by the constant, heavy ocean winds and it doesn't take an expert botanist to see the climate here requires some hardy and wind resistant fauna. There are entire sections of this area of the coast where the road is dominated by long corridors of these fascinating, intricately shaped, warped trees. Southward however, the area between Seal Rock and Waldport is often dominated by the wet, thick rain forests more commonly found on the coast.

Waldport, Oregon

Waldport, OregonPerfectly located on the Oregon Coast with miles and miles of sandy ocean beaches and rocky, picturesque shorelines nearby. Waldport is almost midway between the borders of Washington and California. That puts it within easy driving distance of many of the coast's most popular tourist attractions, such as the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the world famous Sea Lion Caves, and the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, to name a few!

Waldport is located on the beautiful Alsea Bay, long recognized as one of the premier crabbing bays on the coast. The Oregon State Marine Board rates the Alsea Bay in the top five in the state for annual usage. Perhaps the most appealing facet of Waldport is that it is largely undiscovered by the masses, so it doesn't suffer the crushing crowds that so many coastal cities and towns are dealing with.

Newport is a mere 15 minute drive north, where you can take in a whale watching charter trip or visit the Hatfield Marine Science Center or the Oregon Coast Aquarium. You could also take in a show at the Newport Performing Arts Center and then return to Waldport for a moonlit stroll on an uncrowded beach. Whatever you like on the Oregon Coast, Waldport is close enough for you to enjoy it without the crowds and the traffic.
