Oregon is one of those beautiful places that everyone should try and see! My sister and I were fortunate enough to travel there back in 2015, and I’ve been dreaming about going back ever since! While we saw a lot of the state on our trip, the portion of time we spent on the Coast was really spectacular!

We kind of made a mad dash to it after spending a long day exploring the Coast. We were staying in Yachats, and after a late dinner we decided that the only acceptable place to watch the sunset was at this particular Lighthouse, which was 20 minutes away. The problem we faced is that…

The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Oregon’s Sea Lion Cave!
The Oregon Coast (which is another one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon!) is such a beautiful and entertaining road trip! We probably only drove down a third of it, but we made countless stops along the way! The last stop we made on the Coast was at Florence’s Sea Lion Cave!

They are located north of Florence on Highway 101, between Florence and Heceta Head Lighthouse. Parking is across the street from the entrance. Tips: Find out how many sea lions are in the cave before you go. Visit their…
