Thousands of sea cucumbers have washed up on the beach in the Oregon coastal town of Seaside thanks to a combination of heavy surf and low tide. The partially translucent gelatinous creatures are called skin-breathing sea cucumbers. They normally burrow into the sand along the low tideline and farther out. But on Tuesday, they were scattered across more than 2 miles (3.2km) of Seaside Beach, said Tiffany Boothe, the assistant manager of the Seaside Aquarium.

Every year, my family takes a 14-hour road trip from our home base in Utah to a house in Netarts Bay, Oregon. Though it's just an Airbnb rental, it's become our home away from home.
