Looking for a delicious small town bakery then the Bayfront Bakery & Deli in Garibaldi is your stop along the Oregon Coast Highway for delicious baked goods from a place that is frequented by the locals. This bakery is an excellent place to pick up a great doughnut, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, or other traditional baked goods. Our personal favorites are the fritters, depending on the day of the week it seems that you can get your hands on a specialty flavored fritter such as blueberry or even pineapple, which is surely a nice change up to the traditional apple fritter. The baked goods are priced well and in typical coast fashion you may be faced with a person behind the counter that could really care less that you are visiting there establishment and spending your money there, so don’t be surprised of the sometimes less than friendly welcome at Bayfront Bakery & Deli. If you have been vacationing the coast long enough though it won’t bother you one bit and you can take your pastries, grab a coffee from the Pacific Edge Espresso and head out to the barview jetty and watch the ocean waves crash on the shore. Afterwards take a walk and work off the extra calories from the second or third special pastry.

Japan Tsunami Debris This Summer on Oregon Beaches

beach walk, debris, dock, glass float, japan, summer, tsunami

Visitors to the Oregon Coast this summer have the chance of encountering debris that is starting to show up off shore and on the beaches of Oregon. While the initial debris that is showing up is likely only the start of what is to come as the currents carry the items closer to shore. While much of the debris will be indistinguishable junk such as foam and other chunks of plastic.

Already a very large dock coated with non native species washed ashore near Newport, Or. this is an example of the strange and large sized items that are floating out in the ocean from this devestating disaster and is a reason for boaters to be careful this summer when navigating the water offshore. Japanese Dock Infomration

Some fisherman have been reporting large tracts of debris in the water as well, as finding one of the more prized finds a green glass fishing float.

Keep your eyes open when making your favorite early morning beach walking and you might stumble onto something that has come adrift. For more information on the tsunami debris off the coast.

Remember that the debris from the tsunami is a real representation of the absolute destruction that was caused across the Pacific in Japan and many of the things washing ashore were part of peoples lives and means to earn a lively hood. Check out the story below about a man that lost his motorcycle during the tsunami and the people that found it washed up on their shore were able to track him down.

Of course the random glass float with no numbers or names is something that you can just keep and treasure as a reminder of the power of nature if you are ever so lucky to score the ultimate beach combing prize.
