Astoria

09 July 2011 0 Comments

We ventured out to Astoria which is located on north western tip of Oregon and is most famous for being the town The Goonies is set in (though the beach in the movie is actually Cannon Beach!).

It seems to be a port town (I suppose I should go read up about it!) — there were lots of impressively large ships about the pier.

It is a really strange little town with lots of old and interesting looking buildings.

It’s about 2 hours drive from where we live, and we promised Immi and Ashland beach time, so we stopped by Sunset Beach on the way home. It was a lovely quiet beach with beautiful sparkly sand.
