(Used to be Viking Cottages and Major Motel near there, I think, in the 40%26#39 s and 50%26#39 s) That would be about where the Stephanie Inn is now. Well, I%26#39 ve been back to Garibaldi and Waldport, and those sites are eroded away. Much later, after college, I regretted that my family had never bought land in the places we had lived. This brought back memories.I lived in small cabins near Garibaldi, Waldport and Tolovana in the 1950%26#39 s. If we buy more it will not be on sandstone. The only coastal property we have is part ownership in Whale Pointe on the rocks in Depoe Bay. And there other formations that are gone. I would invest nothing in the Waves or any where near. I remember when it was there, nice formation but easy to see why it is gone. Not much left of Jumpoff Joe now, It fell into the ocean with some nearby land. Last week we spent a night at the Waves in Newport. While others probably think oregon is poe-dunk. Of course I guess its all about perspective, I think OR is way too developed and Portland is huge. I could go on and on about how I really worry for the Oregon coast, with all the development and being loved to death. So river systems aren%26#39 t adding to sand deposition either. Definetly buyer beware.Īlso-alot of sand gets dumped out deeper water than it used to, due to jetties(especially the Columbia). There are many examples of erosion on the coast, Waldport- in the 80%26#39 s, Bayocean, etc. Junlauf- I must have had the same OSU prof :) ! I remember this story and he also included that some shady developers will fish around for a geologist that %26#39 proves%26#39 land is stable, when most geologist say otherwise. Maybe homeowners should at least know that any dwelling is temporary and that it is only a matter of time before it will be destroyed by erosion, landslide, river meandering or flooding - did I cover everything? I have to wonder who allowed the building permits. I really wish that retirees would build their dream homes somewhere other than right near the ocean. I haven%26#39 t been back to Nye beach in many years but I can only assume that the concrete slab has since been swallowed by the ocean and that the coastline continues to erode. The professor predicted the demise of the building due to the fact that it was built on or surrounded by sandstone. One of his OSU professors had shown his class the same structure while it was being built some 8 years before that. All that was left of the construction was a concrete slab. I recall about 10 years ago, my husband took me out to a place on Nye Beach in Newport where a developer had begun constructing a set of condo units. For those that didn%26#39 t read this in The Oregonian, here%26#39 s a link to an interesting story.
