On Saturday, June 12th, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescue crew from the U.S. Coast Guard North Bend sector, assisted a young man off a cliff face after he had become stranded near Agate Beach.
Although the young man was reachable from shore, it was determined by on scene personnel that the climb up posed more risk of harm than a hoist.
The helicopter rescue crew was assisted by the crew of U. S Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay lifeboats and shore personnel, Toledo fire, Depoe Bay fire, and Newport fire.
