Hug Point

One of our favorite places that we went to while we were in Oregon was Hug Point. You have to see hug point at low tide. At high tide most of the beach is covered up. Hug point is called hug point because before the highway was built the stagecoaches had to use the beach by way of travel. You can still walk along the original trail carved out by the stagecoaches. The wayside was named after this trail because it hugs the point. It was amazing to see the wagon wheels in the rocks. In the picture of Enoch helping Jacob up the rocks you can see the wagon wheels still on it. This whole area is covered up at high tide. There are also some caves that you can go into that have been carved out by the water. We loved seeing the stat fish in the tide pools as well as all the tiny clams. At hug point you actually walk around the point to another beach. If you aren't careful you'll get stuck at the other beach. While we were there the tide was coming in a bit and Enoch and Jacob were standing on some rocks not paying attention and a huge wave came up on them and got their shorts soaking wet.

Our family pictures were taken at hug point but at a higher tide.
