Weather to bring on the beachcombing event...

Yesterdays weather of strong winds should have scoured our beaches to bring on some excellent beachcombing.  We are all looking forward to those great gravel bars we get her in the Newport area for those agates glistening among the gravel.  We have photos that need to be downloaded to show you some of the trophies our guest have come up with.  Will try and get them up shortly.

Spring break on the Oregon Coast

The low tides of spring have blessed the beachcombers with many treasures this spring. We are in the midst of 6 weeks of spring break here on the Oregon Coast.

Local beachcomber Lisa, just found these beautiful trophies and a whole lot more than the camera could hold today. Upper left shows some of her fossils, the largest fossil is about 1/3 of a Musashia indurata shell, and various other shell fossils (I threw a quarter in the photo just for scale). The lower left shows some nice petrified wood scattered in among the agates.

Weather has been wild and wonderful for storm watching too!
