Breathtaking Views at Beverly Beach

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

I attended a business meeting in Newport last week and decided to stay a couple nights on the Central Coast instead of rushing back home to Seaside. My original intention was to explore the area and do some research for future blogs. The place I rented was so relaxing and intoxicating, that I couldn’t tear myself away from the breathtaking views. Of course, it was an Oregon Beach Vacations property called “breathtaking views.” Sitting high on a cliff overlooking Beverly Beach, the cozy house had a view from every room. With books galore, a fully equipped kitchen and satellite TV with hundreds of channels, I didn’t feel like venturing out anywhere. I guess I needed some R & R!

I plan on coming back to the area soon, because there are so many things to do, like shopping at the Outlet Mall in Lincoln City, dining at fabulous restaurants, visiting the Newport Aquarium, enjoying the local performing and visual arts talent, looking for glass floats, etc. etc. I did go out one night in Nye Beach and was pleasantly surprised by the meal I had at the Irish Pub. They had a gal from Nashville playing music who was very funny and quite good. She reminded me of a cross between Kim Carnes, Patty Loveless and Mary Chapin Carpenter. I also managed to take several walks on Beverly Beach. There were lots of beautiful rocks on the beach that I wanted to pick up. I'm thinking they might have been agates, but I don’t really know what they look like. I’ll have to do some research on agates before I go back.
