Essential reading for the Oregon Coastal Traveler

Recently I vacationed along the Oregon coast and this book was priceless!! It gave me hints and tips that no other book detailed. This book details each rest-stop, outlet, inlet, viewpoint, beach access, bridge, museum, trail and park you could possibly imagine and more. It also served as an incredible resource - with it, I hit sites I would have otherwise missed. It was essential when I was trying to go over my photography and recount where all I had been. Before leaving (for vacation) I bought several books - but my favorites ended up being this one and The Photographer's Guide to the Oregon Coast: Where to Find Perfect Shots and How to Take Them (Middleton, Barbee) - I took them everywhere. I cannot praise this book enough!

little bit of everything

There is so much to do on the Oregon coast, especially along Hwy 101 that planning a trip is nearly impossible. After weeks of searching the web trying to decide which driving and stop options were doable in a 3 day trip and which my family and I wanted to do, I broke down and bought this book. This is a great guide to a everything. I really like the "must do" checks, and agreed with most of them. It is not a photo guide, it is not a hotel guide or a restaurant guide. It is a fairly concise description of just about everything (activities, bridges, beaches, lighthouses, scenic areas, museums...) to do with the Oregon coast. There is lots of information in here that I don't care about - golf courses for example. But, someone else might and it's easy enough to skip that to get to the lighthouses and bridges that I am interested in. Great for a family with different interests so we each got to read and see what we wanted to do in each area along the way.
