Our first opportunity to spend time on the Pacific Coast was at Winchester Bay, OR. In most places, getting to and exploring the Pacific Coast is difficult when you're pulling a fifth wheel camper. Fortunately, the trek from I-5 to Winchester Bay was over good roads.
We found a campground with a great view of the Winchester Bay. The Bay is a calm, quiet cove protected from the open Pacific by an island and a breakwater. In summer it's a haven for vacationers. Note the large marina which was located on our land side. It's also the access point to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, a hot spot for all manner of off-road vehicles used to play in sand dunes. It was rainy and overcast most of the time we were there, a not uncommon experience along the Pacific Coast.
In the third picture, you can just see the lighthouse to the left of our camper in the picture, which sits at the mouth of the Bay.
