Welcome to Oregon (state 46/50)! For our time in the Beaver State (yes, you heard that right) we spent one day exploring the quaint coastal town of Florence. Situated just an hour west of the larger city of Eugene, Florence is home to miles of rolling sand dunes, beautiful beaches, and charming boutiques making it an incredible small-town getaway. We started our day at an outboard motor repair shop turned coffee shop before making our way 15 mins north of town to the Heceta Head Lighthouse. After taking in the beautiful coastal sites, we headed back into town for lunch, but not without making a short pit stop at the famous Sea Lion Caves. We spent the afternoon exploring the many boutique shops, enjoyed a rainy evening on Heceta Beach, and ended our day with a delicious dinner in a 1912 train station that was moved in pieces from the town of Mapleton (15 miles east of its current location) and reassembled in Old Town Florence and is now home to Waterfront Depot… A riverside restaurant offering “Elevated Coastal Cuisine”. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate enough for us to experience the incredible playground that the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area presents, we still had a wonderful time in this awesome little town!

== About Us ==
We’re Matt and Nat, a part time travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. Like everyone else, 2020 turned our world upside down. With more time on our hands than ever and multiple international trips canceled, we were left wondering what our 2021 travel plans would look like.
What we realized is that we wanted to see more of our own beautiful country, so we decided to set out on our biggest adventure yet… to see all 50 states in a year!
This channel is about all things travel & adventure. From vlogs, to tips & tricks, to crazy travel stories, the best foods, as well as product & service reviews, & soo much more.
So please make sure you SUBSCRIBE (it really helps us out) to follow along on this crazy adventure. :)

Have you been to the coast of Oregon?! What are some of your recommendations?
-
When you grow up in Oregon, you learn early to just "do it in the rain", whatever "it" is! 😅 When you embrace it, the rain turns a lot of normal days into adventures, it forces you out of your comfort zone sometimes and encourages creativity!
-
Rain is the best part of OR! The Oregon coast with overcast skies is a whole vibe.
-
First rule of the OR coast, never turn your back to it LOL. Florence is fun. Great vlog.
-
I lived in Florence for about five years, and I loved it so much but we moved away to Texas and Texas is a lot different. I wish I could go back to Florence and we live all those old memories. I miss it so much it was beautiful there.
-
Bend Oregon is a great town to visit! Oregon is one of the most beautiful states in the country, so underrated. Southern Oregon coast is magical
-
I've lived in Florence for almost a decade! My husband and I were married on that exact beach. Seeing it from an outside perspective makes me feel extra appreciative to live here! Glad you guys enjoyed it.

I really love how honest you guys are about what you like/don’t like. I feel like so many travel vloggers kind of like to paint everything in a really positive light and sometimes it’s nice to hear some honest feedback about the places/things to do/food. :)
-
Watching this a year later. OMG! Playing with tides on the Coast is so dangerous! Every year, a few ppl get caught up in sneaker waves. I was hoping you’d say something about that. Locals try to get the info out, but tourists coming off the highway usually don’t get the warnings. Hopefully anyone seeing this will do their due diligence and ask about any dangers on the coastline they’re visiting.
-
Boy oh boy, the giggles and the joy you two bring with your adventures. I have been to the coast of Oregon when I was much younger but I never saw anything as awesome as that Lighthouse. Thanks for sharing, loved every minute of it.
-
Welcome to my town. I hope you have a wonderful time exploring my home state.
