http://activerain.com/blogs/donmurray When you drive the ocean roads, you are often driving through town along the road beside the ocean. Ocean Shores is at the end of the road - and even though this ocean side town is busy with visitors, it still maintains it's end of the road quality of serenity and quiet. en-us http://activerain.com/blogsview/573080/a-real-end-of-road-experience <p>Once when I was looking myself for a new place to live - to get out of the hussle and bussle of the big city, my wife and I searched all up the Northern California coastal area as well as Oregon.&nbsp; On many a vacation we would poke around in coastal towns to get a feel for their "character" and real estate prices.&nbsp;</p> <p>On one occasion, we were fortunate to get on off-season accomodation in Ocean Shores for a short vacation.&nbsp; We had never been to Ocean Shores before, and were surprised and intrigued about the location of this special peninsula.&nbsp;</p> <p>Once we arrived we immediately noticed the one big difference that this coastal town had over every other coastal town we looked at before - THIS ONE IS AT THE END OF THE ROAD!&nbsp; Wow!&nbsp; I, especially appreciated this feature, since all other towns we had visited along the Pacific Coast was along a highway.</p> <p>Now, we live at the end of the road!&nbsp; This makes for a special sense of having arrived at home.&nbsp; I hope you will find the same intrigue and character at the end of the road - Ocean Shores, WA.</p> Don Murray (Coldwell Banker Ocean Beach Properties) Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:58:31 -0700 http://activerain.com/blogsview/573080/a-real-end-of-road-experience
