One of the Oregon Coast's most recognizable rock formations, aside from Cannon Beach's Haystack Rock of course, are the Three Arch Capes located along a scenic route outside of Tillamook.  And on a mild February day, the landscape provides the perfect setting for some spectacular beach photos.  These particular ones were shot during a walk along the beach in Oceanside.  A tunnel leads to a secluded beach area where folks search for agates. Oceanside is located on the Three Capes Scenic Route west of Tillamook.  When approaching Tillamook on Highway 101, simply follow the signs for the Three Capes Scenic Route. Google Map
