Re: [T3] Fastback Camping trip


Swim? You're joking, right?  We get our water from Alaska and the change in
temperature from there to here feels like it doesn't even
change...BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!  I think 9 out of 10 Oregon beaches are swimmable
(at your own risk).

There are quite a few camping spots along the coast.  Most require a park
permit if you plan on camping -- they're not expensive and there will be signs
indicating if you need a permit or not.  Personally, I think the central
Oregon coast is the is the most beautiful (Newport/Waldport/Yachats).  The
northern part, especially Seaside, is way too commercial-touristy.
