Founded by Matt Love in 2003, Nestucca Spit Press is an independent press on the Oregon Coast that exclusively publishes books about Oregon. The Press is named after Nestucca Spit, a three-mile stretch of ocean beach in Bob Straub State Park that Straub saved from permanent desecration in 1967 when he defeated a plan to reroute Highway 101 down the spit.
