Southern Secluded Isles: 11 Magical Coastal Hideaways
This year’s trip to Sun ‘n Fun needn’t be all about airplanes. We’ve discovered 11 idyllic destinations along the southeast coasts of the United States that offer a peaceful respite from daily life. Whether it’s just you and your spouse, or the whole family is in tow, we’ve found a destination to meet your needs.

Exploring The Oregon Coastline
The 350-mile Oregon coast provides an ideal mix of urban and remote locations, sure to please the wind-swept adventurer in every family. Although the route can be flown, it’s best seen down low in a car, so you can stop and smell the sea foam, and walk along its sandy beaches at your leisure.

Departments:

	Leisure Travel: Teaching your children to fly creates patterns they will use for a life-time.
