Sunday October 17th (Lots and Lots of Sea Lions)

South Beach State Park to Harris Beach State Park

200 miles

We had a long day driving today; it was a much longer 200 miles than we though it would be there were so many Scenic stop to get check out In many ways the Oregon Coast reminded us of the Great Ocean Highway in Australia, with its many pull offs and magnificent scenery. The highlight today without a doubt was south of Heceta Head Lighthouse where we saw thousands of sea lions on the beach and rafts of them in the ocean. The noise they were making was incredibly loud their barking never ceased. We also saw several light houses today, dotting the Oregon Coast there are nine light houses, we saw eight of them. The one we didn’t see the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse which is perched upon a rock to help guide ships entering the Columbia River.
