Astoria and the Coast (Cannon Beach, Cape Meares: 2009, beach, area)

[mtncat]

Getting married in mid April 2009 and we are looking at the Astoria area and the coast as a possible honeymoon destination.
Need some ideas on what kind of weather we will be looking at, things that should not be missed and other ideas.
Thanks

April in Astoria and on the coast - count on rain and be plesantly surprised if you get a clear day. It could be cold, or you could luck out with some days in the mid sixties. Last April, it actually snowed a little in Astoria. If you are looking for a place that you don't care if the weather is a bit wet and cold, Astoria can be a really nice town to visit. It can be pretty romantic bundled up in front of a fire with a cup of mulled wine and Astoria has some romantic places to stay. If you decide on Astoria, you won't be on the coast, but you'll be close and could take a nice drive down to Cannon Beach , or even further to Cape Meares. I myself like the ocean when it is rainy and cold out, but you'd really need to be sure that wouldn't ruin your honeymoon.
