Exploring the Parks and Seafood of Oregon

Oregon is a large, foggy state with miles of beach and forest that is backed by mountain ranges. It is a good idea to stay in cheaper roadside motels or bed and breakfasts as this can be very soogy place to camp. However if you enjoy feeling damp all day and all night go right ahead!

 

There is a huge concentration of Oregon bed and breakfasts along the southern Oregon coast, which is a place where the rugged pine forests meet the Pacific Ocean. Many of the very best Oregon bed and breakfasts are in these picturesque waterfront towns that boasts working ports, active art communities and many nature trails. Windsurfing, hiking and ocean and river fishing are the main recreational activities.

 

Great little towns to visit on the southern coast include Old Town Bandon which is famous for its seafood restaurants), Charleston (a golfing community) and Coos Bay (which sports a gambling casino.)

 

Also in Southern Oregon you will find Grants Pass that features famous Oregon caves and Crater Lake. There are many Oregon B & B’s in this area as well because it is also verdant wine country.

 

In the center of the state around Mount Hood you are sure to find all kinds of affordable Oregon bed and breakfasts as well as opportunities for skiing, hunting and mountain climbing. In Maryhill there is the Maryhill Museum that features the sculptures of Rodin as well as a full size replica of Stonehenge. Also in the Mount Hood area you can visit the International Museum of Carousel Art.

 

One of the most popular destinations in Oregon is Eugene, which is home to the Oregon Air and Space Museum and a huge planetarium.

 

Depoe Bay that is located along the northern part of the Oregon coast is home to one of the most famous Oregon bed and breakfasts. The Channel Inn is situated at the top of a fifty-foot high ocean side cliff and is considered to be one of the top 25 bed and breakfast inns in America. Many of these Oregon B&B’s boast hot tubs to ward of the chill of the sea air.

 

Depoe Bay showcases the best that the state of Oregon has to offer including Sea Lions Caves, the Evergreen Aviation Museum and the Chinook Winds Casino. Excellent wineries are less than an hour away from the town so you are likely to be served the best wine and seafood if you stay in a place that also offers dinner.
