We spent several days at Whalers Rest, a Thousand Trails RV Park in South Beach, Oregon. The park was fine, but tight and muddy. At least it was a short walk to the beach. Unfortunately, it was cold and dreary most of the time we were there, so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the ocean.

Our friends Scott and Chris had been here a couple of weeks before we got there and recommended a great place for dinner called the Pacific Kitchen at Nye Beach – it was delicious! Candi got the ‘catch of the day’, Mike got their Fish and Chips – and we shared a piece of Raspberry Donut Cheesecake for dessert that was to die for!

We also had fun walking along the Newport bayfront area. It’s a quaint area combining tourist shops and restaurants along with a working commercial fishing village.

Of course we had to take a drive down 101 along the Oregon coast!

On an odd note, this is what they call a shrimp cocktail on the West Coast?!?!?!?
