Haystack Rock and chill coastal vibes
Haystack Rock as the anchor, Pelican Brewing for the oceanfront pints, Newmans at 988 for the white-tablecloth dinner. Ecola State Park for the Indian Beach hike, surf lessons at Oswald West with Northwest Women's Surf Camps for the lesson day, Public Coast Brewing for the back-room. Ninety minutes from Portland, beach-house rental town, fog-coded. Quieter than Seaside on purpose.
