If possible, rent a house. We did this for several years and that helps the experience for either a couple or for family. Cannon Beach is a place to just "chill". However, the summer is cray (get there before 11 AM...the traffic is ridiculous between 11 AM and 7 PM all along 101 or 26. As a black man and mixed race couple, we have never felt out of place in any of the times we have visited. No glares, no discomfort, always feel welcomed. Thank you all for this great channel!

Oh ny Gosh, amazing! I love the way you do research & include history! Super thankful you included info on Cascadia-i live in Bandon & carry a TO-GO BACKPACK in my Rig - with food, water, doggy food...
And I always tell visitors to not turn back on water & have A REAL PLAN ON HOW TO GET TO HIGH GROUND, with Prickly Gorse! 😮😮 I, ve been here in OREGON, for 15 yrs. But, haveta try Ecola State park! And yeah, summer is more enjoyable, but like most of the Oregon Coast- it is major CROWDED, with TOURISTS FROM THE INNER NW.-that is in the 90-100's BAKING DEGREES!! Rock on, guys- youre doing a SUPER SUPER JOB!❤🎉❤

The ocean views are always breathtaking and you took my back to class with Sir Francis Drake. Don't make me dust off my history books.

An awesome video! You guys obviously do a lot of work researching, filming and editing your videos. We’re still working on improving our videos but know we won’t spend the time at locations to be in front of the camera. Keep up the great work.

Did a trip from Lincoln City, Oregon down to San Diego after visiting. Oregon coast has some amazing views, landscape, small beach/fishing towns. Definitely worth the decision down to San Francisco, instead of the Highway 5.

Highway 1
Highway 101
Big Hits💥 🤯 👀

There use to be a trolly that took you around now it’s only Astoria.
