All About Shipwrecks and Winter Storms on the Oregon Coast

For centuries mariners grappled with how to navigate channels up and down the Oregon Coast. The Columbia Bar, for instance, sits where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific Ocean — and has been the site of roughly 2,000 shipwrecks since 1792.

Add one of these cheesy spots to your next Coast visit, or plan a whole cheese-tasting road trip.
