Coos Bay, Oregon is one of the most spectacular wave-watching spots anywhere. The locals have always known it but few others do. Created when the right swells meet the right tides and weather conditions, these spectacular waves smash against the cliffs at Shore Acres State Park with such force that sprays shoot up several hundred feet.
