Relax at Oceanside Beach
Oceanside Beach is often passed over for Tunnel Beach just north. Both are great, but you're missing out if you don't head down to Oceanside and fly a kite.

Short Hike to Munson Creek Falls
Located just outside of Tillamook, Oregon, Munson Creek Falls is a must do if you're in the area. Standing at almost 320 feet tall, Munson Creek Falls is one of few waterfalls in Oregon that is over 300ft tall.Because of heavy storms in the area there has been a build up of fallen trees around the waterfall. There's still plenty of great spots along the trail to catch a glimpse of this impress...
