Oregon Coast Photographer | 1st Visit to Cape Kiwanda

The weather forecast called for sunshine on the Coast. My husband had to work so my parents and I packed up the kids and Rembrandt and headed to the beach. We decided to check out a new beach this time. I have always seen photos of Cape Kiwanda and it looked so amazing. So we set out to explore Cape Kiwanda, which is just north of Pacific City.

We were so surprised when we got there and saw people driving out on the sand. We had thought you could only to that in Washington. But we learned that there are several beaches in Oregon you can drive on. The kids thought this was so cool. We drove down towards the south end, closer to the huge sand dunes. We played in the sand. Rembrandt ran and ran. Seeing that much fluff bounce all over the place was so fun. Old English Sheepdogs are the coolest dogs. After playing for awhile the kids were ready to climb the sand dunes.

The closer and closer we got to the dunes, the higher and steeper they looked. The kids were so excited to climb to the top and see what was on the other side. Oh my, that was a climb. If you are looking for a great workout, come to Cape Kiwanda and climb straight up the sand dunes.

 

When we got to the top the climb was so worth it. The views from the top of the dunes at Cape Kiwanda are incredible. You can the see the ocean on either side. It is truly breathtaking. Another example of the beauty that can be found up and down the Oregon Coast.

The kids played and played at the top. Jumping off smaller dunes and climbing back up to the top. This is the perfect beach location for kids. They will be exhausted by the end of the day, but they will beg to come back to Cape Kiwanda every time you head to the Coast.

Exhausted, we headed back down the dunes and walked back to the car with Rembrandt. Well, I should be clear, the kids rolled down the dunes.

Today was amazing. I see us coming back to Cape Kiwanda many times. It is easily my most favorite spot along the Oregon Coast.

If your family will be vacationing or enjoying a day at the beach, a family photography session would be a perfect way to capture some fantastic family photos. Contact me for more information about Maternity, Children’s and Family Photography Sessions at the Oregon Coast.
