I have lived in Oregon my whole life, and this was my first time ever to step foot on Short Sand Beach. My good friend Colleen posted about going so I thought since I had never been that the next time I went to the beach I would take my family and venture down to check it out. Well WOW! It's about a mile hike from where we parked on the main road to get to the beach. As the trees part and you start to see the ocean the first thing you see are surfers in the ocean. The day we went the tide was extra low so we got to see tons of sea creatures in and around the rocks. Ryan and Preston were in heaven catching all of them.
After exploring Short Sands Beach we drove up to Canon Beach to meet our friends the Kirschmans, Dorroughs and Allens, for a bonfire to play and roast marshmallows. Church is still remote and we have missed seeing each other in person. It felt amazing to hang out with friends!
Thankfully at the end of the night we didn't have to pack up and drive all the way home. Heather and Steve let us stay in their condo, so the kids got to swim and we were able to hit all of our favorite spots before heading home.
