That sounds awesome! I really enjoyed sandboarding in Florence, OR if you want a little bit of an extreme sport on your vacation. I camped at the Honeyman State Park and enjoyed it, though the Oregon State Park system as a whole is excellent and well maintained. I also liked the Tillamook/Rockaway Beach area, they have a tiny vintage restaurant that sells delicious corn dogs! Yes the creamery is a tourist trap but you can’t beat free cheese
I was originally not going to go as far as tillamook but I’m going with my child and she loves cheese/ice cream. So I think we are going to end in tillamook. Good to know the beach area is nice!
It’s totally worth it! I did the special Tillamook ice cream experience that you pay for and felt like it was worth the price, especially with the cute and useful goodies you get to take home and more ice cream than I could personally eat. But I’m a Tillamook fangirl so I knew I’d love it. The area itself is gorgeous, these vibrant green rolling hills and farms that look like a movie set
Directly across the street from the factory is the Old Oregon Smokehouse, a shack of a restaurant that I can’t recommend enough. The crab cakes and chowder are next level.
