Eureka Ca up North along coast
 

Trying to determine where to stay along coast between Eureka& N cMinnville

If you wanted to keep along the coast, you could stay in Crescent City or Brookings.

Bandon, Florence, Yachats, Depoe Bay, Newport.

Bandon or Reedsport are probably about 1/2 way between. I like Newport, OR but it's more like 3/4 of the way up on your drive.

Coos Bay is also about halfway in between but it's not directly on the ocean (OK, neither is Reedsport.)

I did Bandon as a stop once between McMinnville and Eureka (Arcata). Beautiful beach!
