Camping - Sunset Bay State Park

As I mentioned in the previous post, we stayed near Newport for the first night of our camping trip to avoid the crazy wind and rain.  The rest of our camping trip, however, was just as beautiful as can  be.  After visiting the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse we ventured south toward Coos Bay.  Our actual destination was Sunset Bay State Park.  It was such a great little spot to camp and play at the beach.



You can see that this is a small bay.  Because of the small inlet, the waves were pretty mellow for ocean waves.  It was just right for the kids to play in.  They had such a blast.  And, as you can see, we had great weather.  Perfectly sunny and just the right temperature - hot enough to warm you up after playing in the cold water, but not so hot to make you uncomfortable if you're just hanging out on the beach.








This was the best camping trip we've been on.  It was so fun.  The beach was perfect.  I'm not sure how often we will get back to Sunset Bay, it's so far from us, but we certainly would love going back some day.
