Agate Beach - Newport

This beach is very scenic with the Yaquina Head lighthouse in the background. I definitely recommend visiting the lighthouse and Agate, but be prepared to walk a lot and go early.

Agate Beach - Yaquina Head lighthouse

Another wonderful morning on the beach! The tide was out, so there was enough room for everyone to enjoy themselves and soak up some sun. The wind did start to pick up around 10, per usual, so an early start is a must or be prepared to eat some sand.

Dunes n' pugs

The dunes were super cool at Agate and the pugs were ok with them as long as we weren't there too long. I loved to walk this beach at night when I lived here.

Beach, planes n' pugs

My dogs relaxing on the beach near my brother, as he flies one of his planes on Newport's South Beach Jetty. It was a gorgeous day and a surprisingly hot one. It's always a trek to get to the beach at this location, but the beach is big and not packed with people. I did have to carry Mr. Rylie all the way there and back.

Plane over Ona

My brother flying one of his favorite planes over a creek that goes into the ocean. He flew and flew this plane, doing all types of tricks until the wind was too strong.

My brother flying one of his planes on an incredibly nice day on the coast. He has always loved RC toys and can operate and fix just about anything.

My brother and his planes

My brother has several planes and they can all offer a little something different. He flies them every morning and evening.

Mr. Rylie and Miss Laila

My pugs were less enthused about the planes and weren't total fans of the spot we were at. "Too much beach " they said. "There's nothing to sniff!"

Beach bums

They patiently waited for me to take photos of my brother and beach. They used to run around and chase balls on the beach, but now have matured and rather gaze at the scenery.

My gal enjoying a nice morning on the beach. We went to Ona beach and enjoyed the seclusion that this beach is known for.

Agate Beach - Newport

This is my favorite beach as there are dunes most of the time and it changes often. You can walk this beach for a very long time and it's nice the whole way.

Bigfoot at Agate

My brother got a new plane called the Bigfoot. He says that it's an easy plane to fly and it was on clearance. He flew this until the wind picked up enough he could suspend the plane in the air and even get it to fly backwards.

Guardians of the plane

My pugs on watch making sure no one messes with my brother's plane.

A nice shot of my brother taking a brief moment from flying at Ona beach. This is another cool beach as there is a little bit of forest as well and lots to explore. We used to come here often as kids and make a day of it.

Pug love

My lil buddies enjoying the nice morning on the beach.

Pugs!

Pugs on the beach

These two! I really wanted to get the lighthouse in the background. I had to get a little wet to get this shot, but they just waited for me to get my angles right. But not for too long though, gotta be respectful, they're not stuffed animals.

Beach love

Fur kids at the beach

They were hesitant walking to the beach, but perked up on the way back. I tried to capture all the glory of this beach with the dunes and lighthouse.

Pugs n' sunshine

The sun was so nice on the beach. It was fit for Goldilocks alike and my pugs are definitely strict about the weather.

Mr. Rylie

He's such a ham! He started out grumpy and didn't want to walk, but after some coaxing he decided that the beach wasn't so bad.

Mr. Rylie

What a ham! He's such a punk. I practically had to carry him all the way to the beach. But on the way back, he was more than willing to venture around and strike a pose.
