best beaches
I live in Oregon and about one hour from some of the best beaches. I will start listing some of the beaches here in Oregon and probably some other ones I feel like doing.
Cannon Beach
Astoria
Seaside
Manzanita - My best friend in high school has a beach house here. They use to build them one at a time then sell it. Very nice homes. I like this beach for a quiet beach. I haven’t been there in about 10 years so things may have changed. Its got a really nice road that goes along the beach so that is nice compared to seaside.
Tillamook - This is a nice beach area. If you are into atv’s this is a great location. One of the Oregon dunes is here and closest to Portland oregon.
Ok now for the best beaches list outside of Oregon.
