It’d been ahwhile, probably a year or two, since I’d been out to the Oregon coast. This time I was headed for Seaside although we camped at Bud’s in Gearhart which neighbors seaside on the beach to the North. Again I was filling the role of staff surf photographer and again I won’t be posting the surfing shots only the lifestyles.

After driving 3 hours from Packwood on one of the most scenic drives I’d taken in awhile I landed in Gearhart and we immediately hopped on the bikes to go watch the sunset in Seaside. photo: Nia


In the morning we woke up and boiled some water to make pour-over coffees which really hit the spot.

We checked some spots and ended up heading South to Short Sands beach to spend the day.

January and vibe could not be better on the Oregon coast.

The next day we found our spot a little further South around the point from Short Sands.
