There are far fewer people at the beaches in Oregon than in California, but Highway 101 running right along much of the coast here channels tourist from all over the state to sea-side resorts. Towns on that route have all the cheap t-shirts you could want, but my favorite places in Oregon are off of a road less traveled.
Ocean Beach makes up the entire west side of the San Francisco peninsula, where the Pacific meets the dunes. The Great Highway (Highway 35) runs the length of it, from Geary Blvd by the Cliff House to the North, to Sloat Blvd by the zoo to the South.
the bird represents us, the waves the chaos of the world that surrounds us, politically, environmentally, racially, religiously... yet we move on with life from one calamity into uncertainty, hoping for light at the end of every tunnel we go through..
these children look as if they are being drawn to the ominous waves before them. Jensen Beach is a great place to just watch things happen.
