VANVENTURE PART 3: SURFING AND HIKING

Destination: Cape Perpetua and Indian Beach / Activity: Hiking and Surfing / Fee: $5 day use

There are a few things you have to see when you go to the Oregon Coast. There are so many beautiful places to see, and the outdoors activities are off the charts. With cool temperatures basically year round, it feels really good during the summer to not be sweating in the heat. We loved the cooler temps and enjoyed a few hikes around Cape Perpetua, which is Oregon's highest point accessible by car! The views are absolutely stunning. It's also a great place for whale watching during migration season.

Indian Beach, as mentioned before here, is the perfect place to park for the day and surf in the Waikiki-like break with your friends. It's a dog-friendly beach too, which is perfect for all you dog owners and lovers! A lot of people just let their dogs chill under a tree and run around freely - everyone's pups seem to be super friendly and safe to be around, too. Indian Beach is good for all levels of surfers, and conveniently close to the Tillamook Head trailhead which is actually the furthest point reached by the Lewis and Clark expedition! Amazing right?! There is a small fee for Indian Beach, but it's worth it for all the activities it provides.
