From lava flows to ancient fossils to modern environmental crises, explore the North Coast’s fantastic geologic landscape! “Working on the bay or walking on the beach, I often marvel at how they came to be. Exploring the geologic story of this place through time brings together all the different puzzle pieces that led to the creation of Netarts Bay, our sand beaches, tidepools, and headlands. The rocks and formations can tell us so much about this place!”, says WEBS Director, Chrissy Smith.
