(Waldport, Oregon) – These days, quiet little Tillicum Beach near Waldport gets perhaps just a touch frenzied during summer when the state campground gets full and the season is in high gear, but even then the central Oregon coast beach is one seriously laidback stretch of sand. There s nothing here, really, except for some interesting cliffs, some slightly oddball double-tideline action during summers sometimes, and a lot of room for relaxing.
