It is actually possible. Just stick to the list.
1. Pack a cooler with a bottle of Pinot Noir [6], 2 plastic tumblers, some olives, crackers and brie
2. Bring a classic, wool Pendleton blanket [7] to spread out on the beach
3. Hit Powell’s [8] on the way out of town, grab a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote, and a book about Oregon Coast Tide Pool Ecosystems [9] and NW Coastal Wineries [10]
4. Wear classic Ray Ban sunglasses [11], even if it’s overcast
5. Wear red lipstick [12]
6. Find a swimsuit in polar fleece if at all possible
7. Bring an oversize sweater [13] as a cover up in case your swimsuit is not thermally insulated
