Finding Hidden Local Gems

Ask a local⁠ ⁠ Every time we get somewhere new we try to find a local that has the intel on what is the best local only place to explore. ⁠ ⁠ When we were in Oregon, our neighbors told us about a great local beach. It is next to the Manhattan Beach State Park, with free parking, driftwood galore and driftwood forts. A perfect location to spend a warm Saturday afternoon without the large crowds. ⁠ ⁠ There were many forts around and plenty of driftwood to keep the kids entertained while they warmed up from playing in the ocean. (I forgot how cold the Pacific Ocean is 🥶)⁠ ⁠ Do you like to find locals only places to explore while traveling?⁠ ⁠ @exploringoutsidethe303⁠ @exploringoutsidethe303⁠ ⁠ 📍 Manhattan Beach, Oregon⁠ ⁠
