Bastendorff Beach

We wanted to get to the beach before the sun went down because we knew Saturday night was the only night we would be in Coos Bay.
We went to Bastendorff Beach and it was beautiful.  The water was freezing, not that I was trying to get wet.  The water came up on me faster then I thought it would when I was taking pictures.

When we got to the beach the sun was just starting to set behind the clouds.  It was fun seeing my sisters kids playing in the water and the sand having so much fun.  At that moment I wished that my own little family was there playing on the beach and having fun being a little kid.  That moment passed and I enjoy the beautiful sunset in peace. 

The sand was really soft and very cold.  It was weird to feel the sand cold.  Usually sand is warm or hot so it was a different feeling to have it be so cold.  It was really nice to be there for a little while but we didn't stay for very long.

We stayed until the sun went all the way down behind the ocean.  The skyline was incredible.  You can see the lighthouse out in the distance and the lining of the forest of trees.  The Oregon coast really is a beautiful place.  I just wish it wasn't so hard to get there.  It takes so many hours to drive there and too much money to fly there.  But when you get there and are enjoying its beauty...it makes all those hours worth it...until you have to drive back.
