Rockhounds love the Oregon Coast for its abundance of natural treasures including agates, jaspers, fossils, petrified wood, seashells and more.
Gravel beds sometimes arrive and disappear with each high & low tide so hunting grounds vary from beach to beach, day to day. During the winter months when conditions are great, I like to start hunting about 1 hour after HIGH TIDE until 1 hour after LOW TIDE, that is 6 hours of hunting time.
Enjoy the beach stroll, explore hidden waterfalls, and take a guided hike to stand on preserved 14,000 year old tree root systems.
