March 1, 2015. Paragliding from Anderson's Viewpoint, Oregon located north of Cape Lookout State Park and south of Netarts on the Pacific Ocean. 45 21 14.86 N 123 58 16.36 W . Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge can be seen in the background.
On the beach romp we couldn't help but notice and stare at the unbelievable color of Netarts Bay. The aqua marine color was such a contrast to the pounding surf of the Pacific just a couple hundred yards up the coast, and looked crazy under the gray clouds.
We bought them just up the road at Nevor Shellfish. Netarts Bay is ideal for shellfish and these olympia oysters were delicious! photo by Al

Netarts Bay is an estuarine bay on the northern Oregon Coast of the U.S. state of Oregon, located about 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Tillamook. The unincorporated community of Netarts is located on the north end of the bay and Netarts Bay Shellfish Preserve, managed by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, is located on the south side of the bay. The sand spit on the west side of Netarts bay is part of Cape Lookout State Park.
The bay is approximately 5 by 1.5 miles (8.0 by 2.4 km) and totals 2,325 acres (9.41 km2) in area, making it Oregon's seventh largest bay. Of that, 812 acres (3.29 km2) are permanently submerged—the balance of 1,513 acres (6.12 km2) is intertidal land. It experiences a maximum tidal range of 9 feet (3 m).
The bay is part of a watershed of 13 square miles (34 km2) that is fed by at least 16 small creeks. From north to south, there is Fall Creek, Hodgdon Creek, O'Hara Creek, Rice Creek, two unnamed creeks, Yager Creek, three unnamed creeks, Whiskey Creek, an unnamed creek, Austin Creek, two unnamed creeks, and Jackson Creek.

In the foreground, the splitered stump of a 100 foot conifer blown over the 131 roadway behind "Happy Camp" between Netarts and Oceanside. The road became impassible when dozens of trees brought down by hurricane-force winds early Sunday morning. Pictured is Happy Camp road development with the churning Netarts Bay in the background, taken after the winds had calmed to about 65 mph with 80 mph gusts.
