We drove out to the shore to a river jetty where there were some people surfing. It was overcast, windy and cold, so we moved on.
The next stop was the sea lion caves north of Florence. It’s the largest in the world. We rode an elevator 200 feet down to an overlook inside the cave, 50 to 100 feet from the animals. They get their name from their bellowing sound, it was noisy in there. Back on top the cliff, you could look down on another colony with hundreds of them basking in the sun.
Just a little north was the Heceta Head lighthouse. We stopped at a small bay and walked up to lighthouse. They claim it is the most photographed lighthouse in the world.
We camped for the night a little further north at the Rock Creek campsite, just off the ocean. We walked over to the beach, then built a fire for the evening.
