Went into Bandon to the Farmers’ Market and walked down the waterfront. Some great wood carvings along the water. Then drove North up the coast to Charleston and went out on Cape Arago State Park to Sunset Bay, Simpson Reef (the largest haul-out on the Oregon Coast for sea mammals) and to Cape Arago Point. Simpson Reef was loaded with Seals and Sea Lions and as soon as you get out of the car the barking from the Sea Lions is really loud.
Went back up into Charleston and had lunch at The High Tide Cafe. Sat on the back deck with Tucker and it was very nice out of the wind. Without a doubt the best Clam Chowder we have had in Oregon. (Bought a Quart to have for Sunday Lunch.) Also stopped at Chuck’s Seafood there and bought a nice piece of Halibut to have for Sunday Dinner. Went over to Coos Bay and then driving South back to Bandon stopped at Bandon Dunes one the the country’s premier Golf Resorts with 4 – 18 hole courses in the Dunes and running along the Pacific. Sat on the terrace with Tucker and had a beer watching the Golfers struggle with a Par 5 18th.
