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.
