July 2025 – A day at the Oregon coast

A hot day inland- a good day to go west to the Oregon Coast and walk on one of our favorite beaches, deliciously foggy at first, then sunny.

7/17 – Hug Point

We first walked over the old road at Hug Point – our timing was such that tide would be coming back in soon…

Circling the point.
View north from the high point.
Beach to the north.
Sea anemones on the old road bed
Rock wall plant gradient.
And back to the south side beach.

Then we walked all the way south to Arch Cape, passing our favorite landmarks…

The cave – with an addition – a giant stump stranded on the rock ledge –
probably from a winter storm.
Big barnacle rock,
with a few sea stars among the barnacles and mussels.
Walking south toward Arch Cape, fog starting to disperse. Photo credit to my husband.
Arch Cape Creek and Castle Rock.
Lunch view near Arch Cape, with a flock of sea gulls.

And the walk north – about five miles round trip today.

Fog rising, tide coming in.
The seagull flock accompanied us most of the way.
Blue skies ahead.
