Pacific City - Cape Kiwanda, Neskowin

Another beautiful day driving along the Oregon Pacific coastline. Cape Kiwanda is the fishing port where the Dory fishermen first developed the Dory fishing boat. It is a flat bottom boat that goes out to sea directly from the coast line rather than from a dock. There is monument to the Dory fishermen at Cape Kiwanda.

Haystack Rock at Cape Kiwanda




The waves were very high and the surfers had a grand time.



We next drove to the town of Neskowin where we could walk onto the beach .


Proposal Rock....not sure why it is named as such. I am sure there is a story but we do not know it. We were there when the tide was low and many people walked out to the rock.




But because it was an overcast, foggy day the waves were very high, we just stood on the beach and viewed the magnificient scene of waves, rock, and fog.


On our way back, we saw a sign for the Sitka Art and Ecological Center. We could not resist and so turned off the road to see what it was. It is an art center where artists in all fields from watercolors to weaving to photography to sculpture offer their skills. Below are some of the sculptures that were on the grounds.




Love and hugs to all of you,
Barb and Linda
