Arcadia Bay
Arcadia Bay is a picturesque seaside town in Oregon, USA.
Founded by Native Americans, Arcadia Bay was until recently a prosperous fishing town. However, that industry has declined due, in large part, to the actions of the town’s wealthiest family, the Prescotts.
Lately Arcadia Bay has been experiencing extreme weather and other strange phenomena, such as dead birds falling from the sky and a whale beaching.
