To the west you'll find the rugged, picturesque Oregon Coast.  The coast offers lighthouses, viewpoints, bays, and beaches that dot the unspoiled, 400-mile shoreline.  Visitors can experience the wonders of the ocean by exploring tide pools or joining whale watchers during the whales' twice-yearly migration or view the sea life up close at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
