(Yachats, Oregon) One of the more remarkable spots along the entire Oregon coast is the little town of Yachats, where the waves are in a state of drama that is constant and more intense than any of those bad soap operas on TV. Being largely an area of rocky shelves, the oceanic explosions happen baymont inns just about every second that you're gazing out over this wild, blue watery baymont inns wonder.
