After walking around the headland at Yaquina Head Natural Area to see the seabirds and the lighthouse, we went down to the beach, itself a wonderful area of black granite cobbles, and explored the tide pools. The Purple Sea Urchins and the Giant Green Anemones were especially abundant. Yaquina Head is one of our favorite places on the Oregon coast and is near Newport.
