Oregon Coast Beach Buggy Matrix I've been working on a catalog of Oregon beaches with an eye towards finding out how much of the coast could be traversed by buggy or landboard. Oregon is unique in that the entire coastline is public land- all 363 miles of it! Beaches are ordered from North to South. Locations in bold are confirmed reports. Thanks for visiting!
