The Oregon Coast has been called everything from The People's Coast to The Graveyard of the Pacific. Its scenic, storm-prone beaches are home to millions of marine animals, birds, and plants--and a magnet for millions of visitors. The towering seastacks and mysterious forests have inspired generations of writers, some of whose stories, poems, and lore are collected in this new volume in the Campfire Stories Tales & Travel Companion series.

Editors Ilyssa and Dave Kyu immerse readers in the literature endemic to this beloved natural space, offering unique tours through diverse histories, lore, and landscapes. Part story collection and part travel companion, this Oregon Coast volume begins with an anthology of "campfire stories" set in this distinctive coastal terrain--from classic passages to original poetry, historical excerpts to fresh perspectives. These tales are followed by a mini-guide of community-sourced recommendations for outdoor activities, cultural landmarks, and points of interest that will enrich the reader's experience, as well as tips on how to best travel lightly and respectfully through this scenic yet fragile ecosystem.
