Portland had a Phoenix-AR style heat wave during the week of July 24-30. Couple of my friends and I skipped the heat by going to Canon Beach. Unfortunately, so was every else tried to go to the beach. Canon Beach itself was packed. So we drove along US-101, and stopped at Hug Point Beach, where was a smaller beach not far from Canon.
It was really nice. The sun was warm - although I got a nice arm tan and sunburn. The ocean water was really cold. But it was fun. If you surf, the wave was good. Also, there are tons of weird looking rocks.
