Just down Route 101 from Warrenton we found another little surprise, Sunset Beach State Recreation Area.   Just take a westerly turn and drive until you hit the sand (just past the trailhead for the Fort to Sea Trail) then head south along hard-packed gray sand toward Seaside.

You can drive for miles along this beach.   I expect in the summer it might get pretty busy, but on a chilly Saturday in October there were probably only two dozen vehicles on the sand in four or five miles.

This would be a sweet spot to park the Airstream for a day at the beach.   Overnight stays aren’t allowed, but you could easily put the trailer on the sand as a private cabana.   We might even do that on Monday if we get out of the RV shop early enough.
