Oregon
Travel Site Starts Weekly Lodging, Weather Reports for Coast
(Manzanita,
Oregon) – If you’ve ever been frustrated by heading
out to the Oregon coast during the summer and not being able to
find a room, you may have found an online friend.
Manzanita-based
website Oregon Coast Beach Connection, otherwise known as BeachConnection.net,
is starting weekly updates on lodging availability every Friday.
The website covers the upper half of Oregon’s coast, some
180 miles, and this week will begin providing information about
which lodgings and vacation rental companies still have openings
for the weekend.
The updates will be posted
on the site every Friday, perhaps on Thursday evening, with lodgings
from that entire 180 miles of coverage range.
Lodgings from towns like
Florence, Yachats, Newport, Seaside, Gearhart, Cannon Beach, Manzanita
and many more report in to BeachConnection.net each week with their
room availability for each weekend.
“It’s going
to be a very useful thing,” said BeachConnection.net editor
Andre’ Hagestedt. “We’ve done these during holidays
like Memorial Day weekend and Fourth of July, and they seem to be
very well received by readers all around the Internet.”
These stories, like all
of BeachConnection.net news stories, are syndicated widely on various
online news sources like Google’s news and Topix.net.
The weekend updates will
also include weather for the weekend, covering even Sundays and
Mondays, for those who are extending their visits to the coast.
They will include event highlights for the weekend as well.
The weekend updates will
run through summer, perhaps into September, when the famed “Second
Summer” becomes prevalent on the coast, bringing the nicest
weather of the year. |
