From Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia:
The Oregon Coast is a coastal region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to its west and the Oregon Coast Range to the east, and stretches approximately 362 miles (583 km) from the California state border in the south to the Columbia River in the north. The region is not a specific geological, environmental, or political entity, and includes the Columbia River Estuary.
The Oregon Beach Bill of 1967 allows free beach access to everyone. In return for a pedestrian easement and relief from construction, the bill eliminates property taxes on private beach land and allows its owners to retain certain beach land rights.
Traditionally, the Oregon Coast is regarded as three distinct sub–regions:
The North Coast, which stretches from the Columbia River to Cascade Head.
The Central Coast, which stretches from Cascade Head to Reedsport.
The South Coast, which stretches from Reedsport to the Oregon–California border.
The largest city is Coos Bay, population 16,700 in Coos County on the South Coast. U.S. Route 101 is the primary highway from Brookings to Astoria and is known for its scenic overlooks of the Pacific Ocean. Over 80 state parks and recreation areas dot the Oregon Coast.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Robert. What a great place to live near, though you have to enjoy a fair amount of rain.
