Travel: Indian Beach, Oregon

Robert writes, "Tammy, the Navigator, had pre-planned us visiting Cannon Beach in Oregon, but after several attempts to actually find the beach and somewhere to park as well as driving through the town a couple of times, we gave up and backtracked to Indian Beach.

It's a beautiful beach with fewer people and a twisty winding road that you have to navigate to get to it. It's well worth it, a hidden gem and probably just as nice, maybe nicer than Cannon Beach."
