    The best climate of the beach towns.

    I've only been through it a few times, wasn't impressed with the town.

    Yachats, Astoria and Depot Bay in the off season. In the summer I love the dunes near Florence and Rockaway for digging razor clams. Newport for deep sea fishing.

    Worst blight at the beach would be the casinos. If you're at the coast and actually feel the need to visit a casino for entertainment, you might need some serious therapy.

    A friend of mine from childhood owns Gracie's Sea Hag in Depot Bay. Good food and local atmosphere.

    Are there other casinos at the Oregon Coast besides Chinook Winds? That place is weak, though I did see Tonya Harding box there.

    There is Chinook Winds and Spirit Mountain Casino. Personally I like Chinook Winds better because all the high rollers go to Spirit Mountain and the tables can get really crowded at Spirit Mountain as well.

    Cape Meares is another great area for clamming.

    As is Siletz Bay at the south end of Lincoln City.

    Years ago I lived in Lincoln City and worked in Newport. Best commute in Oregon.

    When he said casinos (plural) at the beach, I was asking if there was another casino at the beach. Spirit Mountain is on the way to the beach, but it's certainly not at the beach. Anyone who goes to the coast or watches any Blazer game knows SM exists.

    At some point I think we will see a casino go in that is closer to the Portland area.
