Sunset Bay State Park Coos Bay, Oregon

Mileage:  50,464

The Oregon Coast is AMAZING!  We passed over lots of bridges on our drive down the 101 today.

Kyle and Allison followed in the Jeep today.

A lighthouse along the way.

We had made reservations at Sunset Bay State Park.  There was a half moon beach as we entered.

This sea lion was resting in the surf

This area had a lot for us to see.

Simpson Reef was a haven for hundreds of California and stellar sea lions, elephant and harbor seals.  We could hear their barking and bellowing no matter where we were.  It was one giant testosterone induced bachelor party!

We drove to Cape Arago where we watched gray whales spouting and arcing out of the water.  We were even able to glimpse flukes as they dove deeper to feed.  Too far away for pictures…but a highlight of our day!

All of us having fun together!

Shore Acres had incredible rock formations on the bluffs and more walking paths.  Kyle and Allison climbed around on the rocks.

We had grilled shrimp for our dinner and then went out to watch the sunset from the cape.

Hot chocolate laced with amaretto to warm us up and Uno until bedtime…another great day!
