See Stage 1. This is perhaps the Oregon Coast at its most diverse, rising and falling among the lighthouse-studded rocky outcroppings with vast verdant ravines, expansive coastal dunes, and estuarine lakes and meadowlands. Newport and Florence are excellent towns for dining, shopping, and supplies. Finish before sunset just south of Oregon Dunes, at the Umpqua Lighthouse SP Campground.
