(Charleston, Oregon) – Calming (ish) breezes, eye-popping sunsets and the distinctive reflections of boat riggings cast on Coos Bay, along with that hypnotizing sound of waves lapping lazily beneath: there s little like the Charleston Marina on the southern Oregon coast. Not even a mile inland along the river mouth from sometimes raucous sands, the marina occupies a different kind of space. It s bustling at times and others devoid of activity; a bit more manmade yet somehow truly rugged all at once.
