This image of storm watchers at the Nye Beach Turnaround around 1910 was photographed by Newport photographer and merchant A.L Thomas around 1910.

Beach safety is nothing new! This drawing by A. H. Hazelton was featured in the 1938 Lincoln County Coast Directory in an advertisement placed by A. L. Thomas and Son.

FREE WORKSHOP! Would you like to learn more about the basics of fundraising? Join Doug Brusa for an interactive seminar “Helping Donors Help Our Programs” on Saturday, November 6 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Doerfler Family Theater.

Storm watching is a popular, if very dangerous, tradition on the Oregon Coast. In 1977 a photographer from the Oregonian documented curious storm watchers awed by the power of the ocean surf as it tore away chunks of riprap seawall at the Gypsy Sea Motel, entrance of the D River wayside in Lincoln City. From the Archives of the Lincoln County Historical Society.
