Beat Cabin Fever This Winter on Oregon’s Adventure Coast

Don’t let cold days or a lack of gear keep you from enjoying the great outdoors. Late winter is a great time to visit the Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston tri-city area — Oregon’s Adventure Coast — especially if you want to beat the summer crowds. Here you can catch your own seafood for a tasty feast, hop into an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) for a dune adventure, or climb aboard a kayak and paddle out to special spots that are inaccessible by land. Best of all, you don’t need to invest in equipment or worry about the logistics, since local outfitters are on hand to sort out the details. All you need to do is show up ready for an adventure.
