When we did the drive up the Oregon coast we found the app “Wanderlog” to be quite helpful because it maps all the places people like to go so you can easily track a logical route and hit all the highlights. The Oregon coast is beautiful but it is much more seeing lots of things for small amounts of time than few things for long periods.

Monkless Belgian Ale Brasserie is also a great place to eat in bend (and kid friendly).

Unfortunately not sure how high the tides will be we're not gonna make 1030a nor 930p. I think best we can do is prob hit early afternoon where it's 4/4.5 ft tides. Wonder if that's enough for the cool factor? It does look super neat!

I’m not sure what time of day (tides) we’ve been by, but it’s amazing. You may also pass the Sea Lion Caves, which can be a fun (and sort of smelly) stop, too.
