Big Storm Waves Pave the Way for a Great Rockhounding Season on the Oregon Coast

Tonight, all I could do is sit there and grin while I watched HUGE waves today wash the sand away. We've had an abundance of sand this year since we had a weak storm season last year and the agate hunting has been sparse.... I can't WAIT for storm season!

The best spots to look for agates right now in Lincoln City are at the mouth of the Siletz bay (park at the the turnaround on 51st) and at Fogarty Creek State Wayside. Conditions change daily, so be sure to stop in to Rock Your World, 1423 NW Hwy 101 in Lincoln City and we'll tell you exactly what to look for and where to find Oregon beach agates.

Be sure to friend us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rockyourworldgallery for updates on beachcombing conditions and photos of finds from the beach!
