Winchester Bay Oregon

Journey to a Land of Water Wind and Fire

Part B: The Oregon Coast I i

A Seafood Supper at Twilight

As the map below shows, we traveled from Eugene, up the Coast to Cape Perpetua, then down to Reedsport to check into our hotel. But as we approached Reedsport, I figured we might want to go elsewhere in search of a decent seafood dinner. The guidebooks had warned that Reedsport was mostly motels and quick food emporiums. So when we checked in we asked where the "locals" go for good seafood. The response was quick and positive, Griffith's in Winchester Bay.



So, after dropping off our stuff in the room we headed out for the little fishing/tourist town of Winchester Bay. The guidebooks had mentioned that many of these small Oregon Coast towns were not only tourist places, there was still a commercial fishing presence around. We found Winchester Bay to be such a place. So, after an excellent seafood dinner, we walked around the small harbor and waited for the sun to do its nightly show.


It did not disappoint.
