In 2021 we had our family vacation on the Oregon coast and made a day trip to Yaquina Head. This is the lighthouse on the headland, but there are usually seals on the beach below, tide pools to explore and thousands of seabirds on the seastacks off the headland. It is also a good place to watch for migrating whales.

While at Yaquina Head Natural Area we spent a lot of time down on the beach watching the seals, exploring the tide pools and looking for other wonders to photograph. These photos were all taken from the beach which is an area of granite cobbles above the tide line.
