Agate Hunting in Oceanside Oregon
~ This entry was posted on August 21, 2009
Agate hunting is a fun hobby while strolling the beach… you can find these little treasures on any beach all along the Oregon & Washington Coast… but one of our favorite spots to search is in Oceanside Oregon. We’ve discovered a couple of great vacation rentals in Oceanside too! If you really enjoy “the hunt” you might want to locate a vacation home that’s within walking distance to the beach & you don’t miss the low tides:)
The Fall & Winter Season seems to be the best for agate hunting… the storms send an abundance of treasures to the shoreline… and you can take advantage of discounted vacation rental rates all along the Oregon/Washington Coast. The quiet season rate usually starts after October 15th, but you will want to double check with the property owner or managers policies as they have their own seasonal timelines.
Not familiar with agates? Here is a resource to show you what you’ll be hunting for… be careful though, once you find one… you can become obsessed… you NEED to find more! I must admit we have buckets full… some of our friends just don’t understand what we are going to do with “all those rocks“… (the friends who haven’t tried it yet:)
This great hunt for treasure is something for kids of all ages… it’s a must try… spend some time strolling and searching next time you go to the beach… you will be surprised at what you can find!
~Thanks & have fun AT THE BEACH!
