Coastal MapThe information from this page is being updated and some links have been broken due to inaccurate information.
 
Each bar, bay, or river entrance on the Oregon coast summons its own set of challenges. The following pages present information that every boater should know before operating on these waters.
 
On some of the older pages, danger areas are represented on the charts by shading. In addition to buoys, the channels of many rivers and bays are marked with pairs of range markers as an aid to navigation. Steering a course by keeping pairs of range markers in line will help guide a boat through the channel.
