Oregon Coast Magazine transports readers into the salt-sprayed forests, inviting towns, and fascinating lives of the Beaver State’s Pacific Coast residents. Article topics vary from one bimonthly issue to next, and past write-ups have covered explorations of the region’s role in the Westward Expansion, visits to a working cranberry bog, and reviews of sudsy pints from Astoria’s hardy breweries. A calendar of local events clues readers into goings-on that range from gallery openings in Florence to Antique Week in Lincoln City, and vibrant photographs capture the region’s spirit better than most magazines’ customary crayon drawings.
