Oregon Adventure: Beach Bliss and Bonfires Under the Stars
The Pacific Northwest called, and we, a crew of 20-somethings with wanderlust in our hearts, answered. Our Oregon adventure was a carefully crafted blend of relaxation and exploration. We rented a luxurious beach house through Oregon Beach Vacations for a week, picturing lazy days soaking up the sun and evenings spent laughing under the stars. But we also craved a taste of the wild side, so we booked a campsite at one of the stunning Oregon Coast Campgrounds for a night.
Beach House Bliss:
Our beach house perched on the Cannon Beach cliffs was the epitome of coastal comfort. Picture sprawling windows framing endless ocean views, crackling fireplaces to chase away the evening chill, and a fully equipped kitchen perfect for whipping up delicious meals. Our days were filled with exploring the best beaches in Oregon, a list that had us hopping from Cannon Beach's iconic Haystack Rock to the dramatic beauty of Ecola State Park. We built sandcastles that rivaled fortresses, chased rogue waves with squeals of laughter, and collected an impressive array of seashells - treasures from the ocean's depths.
A Night Under the Stars:
One evening, we traded the oceanfront luxury for the rustic charm of our Oregon coast campground campsite. Setting up camp under the watchful gaze of towering pines, we felt a sense of camaraderie unlike anything we'd experienced before. We roasted marshmallows over a crackling bonfire, sharing stories and dreams until the stars began to twinkle like a million scattered diamonds.
Must-Haves for Your Oregon Adventure:
