Have you ever needed breathing room in your life? Have you ever wondered if you could get off the rat-race merry-go-round even for one day and take a deep breath and just relax? Then Waldport, Oregon is the place for you to go. Waldport has the most wonderful, uncrowded beach to walk for miles and miles. Flying a kite is amazing at the Waldport beach because you are not worried about colliding with anyone. Forget about crowded beaches because if there are five other families on the beach as far as you can see, it is a busy day at the beach in Waldport.

If you want fine dining and a five-star resort, then don’t even consider Waldport. But, if you want to relax, to breathe the cool, salt air even in July or August, then Waldport is your destination. For lunch, you get a great pizza at Grand Central Pizza on the main street of town. The best meal you will have in Waldport is something you make in the kitchen of your rental home after going to the South Beach Fish Market about 20 minutes north of Waldport along the coast Highway 101 and getting the best candied smoke salmon you have ever tried for the appetizer, fresh crab meat for a crab Louie salad, and fresh salmon filets for the entrée. Rentals are very reasonably priced in Waldport. Bayshore Realty is a great place to help you with a rental of houses right on the beach for less than $100 per night. If you want to see an aquarium, you are in luck because it is only a 30 minute drive north on Highway 101 to the Oregon Coast Aquarium where they have a wonderful display. I especially love watching the sea otters.
If you are on a very limited budget but love seeing sea life, you cannot skip the Hatfield Marine Science Center of Oregon State University which is also about 25 minutes north on Highway 101 from Waldport. This Marine Science Center has a wonderful octopus display in the lobby and does not have any admission fee, but takes donations, so you can spend 15 minutes or half a day looking at the wonderful exhibits for free if your finances really do not allow you to make a donation. It is a fantastic place to take the kids because of their close up exhibits with a lot of hands-on options.
You might say, if you keep going 25 to 30 minutes north on Highway 101, why not just stay up there? The answer is clear to me. Nothing can beat Waldport for relaxation. Waldport is also close to wonderful hiking such as going to the Drift Creek Wilderness Area. If lighthouses are your thing, drive north on Highway 101 and go tour the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. If touring one lighthouse is not enough to solve of your lighthouse fix, then drive south on Highway 101 to the Haceta Head Lighthouse. Because Waldport allows you to have campfires on the beach every night of your stay, you will want to buy the ingredients at Ray’s Market in Waldport, gather up the driftwood and build a fort and campfire for the best s’mores on the beach. If you think a trip back to a simpler way of life might be fun, look no further, because we have the perfect place for you…..Waldport, Oregon.

I loved Japan before I visited there– loved their video games, TV shows, martial arts, and amazing sword fights. But my only contact with Japan was through the Internet. Reading Japanese comic books (Manga) and watching Japanese cartoons (Anime) are my favorite pastime. So on Christmas day, when my parents gave me a book about Japanese culture, I was happy. When I opened the book and discovered the plane tickets inside, I was ecstatic.
In preparation for the trip, we took Japanese language lessons from a private tutor. By the time the trip rolled around I was eager to practice my new skills.
After landing in Narita airport, our first stop was the Zen Bed and Breakfast in Asakusa, Tokyo. My formal Japanese greeting impressed the owners. In the mornings, we had breakfast with them. I had never had rice and soup for breakfast before. Being a very picky eater, I rarely try anything new. But in Japan, I was determined to try everything. These home cooked breakfasts were the best meals we had on our trip.

and previous technologies, it’s awesome article.
Excellent post – thank you – there is a lot to digest. We did the Alsace tour last year, which was fantastic, to tour the Rhine too. It is stunning in summer, which I hadn’t anticipated – I’ve always seen it in photos, beautiful in winter with the snow all around.
Great article. I took some ideas for a trip to Cambodia.
I always admire reading high-quality content, which I discovered in your post. I am quite grateful for this post.
I would also recommend other Kids friendly vacation safaris in Africa so that you can explore more areas
Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Many thanks
Awsome! Thank you for sharing.
A cruise like this is fantastic, taking in many beautiful ports and coasts, but what it misses, is the vast amount of country and culture that is further inland. While the coastal areas of Europe are stunning, a family would be missing out on a lot of experiences further inland, like Toulouse, lakes of Croatia and many more

When we travel on road trips, getting our cars maintained is always our top priority! It’s never predictable what’s going to happen on the road once our car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. It was a very informative read, as well as the tips that followed!
If you make it out to Key West, definitely try to eat at El Siboney Restaurant. They have delicious, authentic Cuban food. Would highly recommend.
Good information. Lucky me I recently found your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
