After a quick stop at Cannon Beach (no pictures) the next stop, South Beach State Park — We loved South Beach State Park. Very nice park within walking distance of the water. Different sounds here; no trains, planes or automobiles, all we heard was a fog horn and seals barking!

The source of our barking seals; these were about 10 or 15 miles from our campground! I guess sound really carries over the water!

While we were there a few whales were swimming around this little bay. The locals say they're there a lot because it's very deep but protected. — While we were there a few whales were swimming around this little bay. The locals say they’re there a lot because it’s very deep but protected.
