That water is freezing. The Oregon coast is absolutely lovely though.

I live in Oregon, and I'd rather go to any of those "other" beaches.

Notice that he said Coast, not Beach. In Oregon, we don't call it the beach

We called it the beach growing up in Oregon.

You must have grown up in Hillsboro then. (tic)

When sitting on a beach in Spain, I often think, "this is nice, but its no Oregon".
