Published 02/04/2013
(Oregon Coast) – Oregon Coast Beach Connection (OCBC) has launched several new features which will come in handy for the visitor or even the armchair traveler – as well as those wanting to keep up on live earthquake data from the West Coast.
For visitors with Smartphones, Iphones, Android and other small phone technology, you can now more easily look up places to stay on the Oregon coast, attractions and dining options – in a format a bit more friendly to Smartphones. While not an Oregon coast app per se, it does make browsing from your handheld device a bit quicker.
The Oregon Coast Lodging Listings for Mobile: IPhones, Android, Smartphones section takes you quickly and easily through your lodging and vacation rental options for Seaside, Cannon Beach, Arch Cape, Manzanita, Wheeler, Rockaway Beach, Garibaldi, Bay City, Tillamook, Oceanside, Netarts, Pacific City, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Newport, Waldport and Yachats. It also gives you a quick overview of attractions for the area and links to dining options, events and weather for each of those areas.

In the world of nearly realtime earthquake data for the Oregon coast, inland Oregon, as well as Washington, California and Vancouver, British Columbia, there is the new Live Earthquake Updates from Oregon, Washington. B.C., California, Alaska. This is actual data streamed from the USGS, which they update about once a minute. It may take a bit longer for Oregon Coast Beach Connection servers to provide the updated information on that page, but there are always plenty of links to the latest info from USGS from there.
You'll also find other scientific articles of interest from Oregon geologists studying earthquakes.
If you dig whales, then you'll love the Oregon Coast Whales - Guide to Whale Watching; Whale News Blog.
