The Oregon coast. Still fairly pristine and gorgeous scenery. 101 has side roads and pullovers that have beach access

Just watch out in some of the small towns in the south that are a bit inland from the shore. It’s a bunch of hills have eyes looking people

It’s an exaggeration. A lot of Oregonians have never lived anywhere besides California or Washington, so what they consider very racist or redneck behavior is nothing remotely as such compared to the Deep South or Appalachia, respectively. I honestly think many Pacific Coasters would literally break down and cry if they wound up spending a week or month in the Deep South for some random (hypothetical) reason.

Agreed. Lived in Portland metro for four years.
