It\u2019s a cute little town and full of tourists enjoying the beach even though the weather wasn\u2019t good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually joked that I thought our rig had turned into a time machine and had taken us back to February as it was barely 60 and raining the first two days we were there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are wonderful beaches here which is a big draw for folks from all over.&nbsp; But the main attraction is a group of rock formation in the surf and beyond.&nbsp; The largest rock is called \u201cHaystack Rock\u201d as it resembles an old fashioned haystack.&nbsp; It\u2019s HUGE!&nbsp; I think it\u2019s almost as big as Morro Rock down in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the other rocks around it make it very interesting.&nbsp; Another fairly large rock formation to the north and out past the surf is called \u201cLighthouse Rock\u201d because there is a lighthouse on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third day we took a little drive up to the next town called \u201cSeaside\u201d.&nbsp; It\u2019s another funky little beach town, small houses, lots of surfshops and all very cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would be a great place to come back to when we have more time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some pictures:<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner > div{\r\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\r\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\r\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect2 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect3 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect4 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect5 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \r\n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t  }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style><div class=\"robo-gallery-wrap robo-gallery-wrap-id6528 robo-gallery-grid\" ><div id=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Spinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388Rect5\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"robo_gallery_main_block_rbs_gallery_69e5b0f135388\" class=\"robogallery-gallery-6528\" style=\"width:100%;
