Adding to Oregon’s list of adventure landscapes and sights is the wreck of the Peter Iredale. On a wide open beach, the beached hull is so corroded you can step right inside. My husband, our pup, and I had a grand morning of dodging small waves while examining the wreck and imaging the ghost lives lead aboard before it ran aground in 1906. Keep in mind that the wreck is located inside Fort Stevens State Park, so you’ll need to pay a $5.00 park fee.
