When many people think of Oregon, this is the sort of view they think of. This picture is taken from the shore and it is facing almost due north. Although maps don’t show it well, the Oregon Coast is very irregular and not at all a straight line. Because of this, you can see land many miles in the distance. The mountains you see are part of the coastal mountain range.
The fairly large black spots you can see in the ocean are channel buoys. It is inadvisable for boats to travel any closer than those buoys because of rocks and so forth. On this side of the buoys, they could easily run aground.
This area is superb for crabbing and fishing for shrimp, though there are many other fish that are caught here, too.
I never would have guessed this was Oregon.
Some of the beaches in Oregon are stunningly beautiful.
Waooo so beautiful and amazing view
I agree. This is a great vantage point when whales are migrating.
