By far one of our favorite hikes to date in Oregon was to the beach at Cape Lookout. We parked in the day use area and looked at the map for the three different trails that originated from there. Decided the South Trail to the beach was the one for us….why?? Agates of course. A steady mile and half climb, down gentle switchbacks led us to the rocky beach. We spent the next few hours exploring the tide-pools and searching for agates. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks and then gently pulling them back out to sea was mesmerizing. It also uncovered beautiful large agates. It was another amazing day on this journey of our. A slight cool nip to the air and a gentle mist overhead. The hike back up wasn’t as bad as we thought it was going to be - just took it slow and steady. We put this one on our list to do again if we had time while here in Pacific City.
