Oregon Coast Trip (Video)

Kgomez777 · Jul 28, 2025

Finally finished our video of part of our trip to Oregon and specifically the Oregon Coast. Was able to do some beach camping for the day and enjoyed what I’ve been slowly working toward with friends and family. Turning this vehicle into a home on wheels has been an end result for sometime and we’re slowly getting there. Takes a bit more planning now with our little guy but we’re making due.

I hope you enjoy this (longish) video up the coast of Oregon and thank you in advance for taking a look.

Very nice trip log, family adventure and travel story. Thank you for sharing.

Being a Pacific NW native and resident of Oregon for over 35 years I had to chuckle at your pronunciation of some of the local “native” American names

.

You can be assured it is quite common and you are in the majority.

Looking forward to Part 2.

Haha I knew for sure I slayed some of the names. Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!

What a fun adventure! Good to see folks with littles doing big road trips. We did our share when the kids were little and they would have been so much better with the Rivian!

Since you've got a little... I wanted to let you know about a book written by fellow Rivian owner and one of our customers Rebecca. It's called The Adventures of Marvin and Friends: At the Valley of Fire. I also wrote about the author and her book in our Blog. Hope you enjoy!

I will say he’s very spoiled in the Rivian. Makes it much easier with all the plugs and comforts for him to withstand the ride. We’ve gone to Valley of Fire! I will check that out thank you! More adventure books the better.

We love the Oregon Coast so much. Hope is to have a home in Cannon Beach some day in the future. We got engaged there in 2022 and I’ve been to the are about 4 times now. Stunning footage and great video dude.

That would be amazing if you found a place near there. I already want to go back, feel like there’s so much I didn’t explore. Glad you enjoyed!

Opening drone footage is my favorite beach to drive on! We'll be there next weekend. (Go there 5-10 times a year.)

I doubt that sticker is still there, since it sounds like you did this drive a month ago, but I'll look for it this weekend. (I'll be charging up there for sure.)

Jealous you get to visit there that much throughout the year. It was about a month ago I was up there. Would love to know if you find the sticker or not. If not DM me ill get you some

We were there the weekend of Jun 27-30, I charged both Friday and Monday, I wonder if it was still there, and I just used a different stall? (I used the one furthest "left" on Friday, and the trailer stall on Monday.) Also, I can't say I ever look behind the charge plug when removing or putting it back. If other people generally ignore it too, it could still be there.

And yes, as in your video, Teslas often park there. If more than half the stalls are unavailable, or someone is parked in the trailer stall, I try to shoo them away.

Oregon is certainly lovely -- AND you all missed the chance to see and discuss the Washington part of the Pacific Coast. Try these photos:

https://seatosummit.com/blogs/adven...dQ2D3nBkOLjbcOPj7_l00W5CNqeMcskMgXoV7O-2IfWnQ

Please note that the "Long Beach" photo isn't quite from Long Beach -- it's the North Head Lighthouse in Ilwaco, Washington, not far from Cape Disappointment (Washington's southwest corner).

Also, in Washington's northwest corner, I'm partial to the Makah Cultural and Research Center Museum in Neah Bay, WA. This might be the single best anthropological museum in the Northwest, with exhibits dating from before European "discovery." The Makah Museum is best seen if you hire a tribal member to guide you through the exhibits and give a supplementary narrative.

Best to all!

Nice video - thanks for sharing. What size 0NWARD headrest is that, standard or large?

This is the standard size and fits perfect. I did a small video about it if you wanted to see a bit more about it.

I love the animation of the vehicle on a map. That's pretty nifty.

I have a house in Seaside OR that's only a few miles south small section of beach that you can drive on so sometimes I eat lunch while watching the waves.

I still get nervous while transitioning from the road to the beach as often time there is some pretty deep sand. Last time I had it in all purpose mode and it got a bit squirely.

On the way out I put it in sand mode and it was pretty darn smooth. It mostly seemed to damped the throttle inputs a lot.

I did see another person in a regular SUV getting stuck but they were quickly rescued by some kids in a jacked up 4x4.
