The beaches in Oregon are places of freedom, places which belong to you and me. In 1913 the then governor of Oregon, Governor Oswald West declared that the coastlines in Oregon State are a "Public Highway."
In the Summer of 1966 the then revered Governor, Tom McCall stood by the act passed in 1913 and put a stop to a Portland real estate broker Bill Hay, owner of the Surf-sand hotel in mid-town Cannon Beach who sectioned off a section of the beach for his private use and that of his hotel guests.
Governor McCall, in his determination to keep Oregon beaches public, landed two helicopters on the coast to make the point that industry was threatening the public use of beaches in Oregon. And those Oregonians with knowledge of their history still remember with gratitude the Governor who fought to keep their beaches free for folks to use, not just the well to do folks with more money than kindness.
