*   Shore Acres State Park (Charleston): It’s rare to find roses blooming along the Oregon coast, but they are the summer stars at this formal garden, created decades ago on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. Once you’ve marveled at the flowers and strolled around the sunken lily pond, you can take a short walk down to a gorgeous little cove with a sandy beach. . .
 
Getting There: To start the loop, follow Third Street south out of Tillamook and watch for the right turn for Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint. You can also access the loop from the south at Pacific City.
