Monday June 25


Today we looked at Seal Rock beach. Only a few seals there, but the rock formations were fascinating.

Went to a lighthouse park in Newport, overlooking Yakima Bay. There was a very long jetty protecting the harbor and a large bridge spanning the bay.

At the next overlook, Otter Rock, there was a man snorkeling over a huge school of fish, probably herring. The school looked like a large mass of seaweed until it moved away from the snorkeler. It was neat to watch the cloud of fish, all circling clockwise. They were also jumping on the surface in a frenzy.

We stopped for the night at Coyote Rock RV park, on the Siletz River.
