Top 10 Charms of the Oregon Coast

You're here: Home : Top 10 : Top 10 Charms Of The Oregon Coast

Connoisseurs of the outdoors will be psyched to find their dreams fulfilled along the Oregon Coast, where the land and its wild inhabitants present a miraculous tableau!

Top Ten Number 1

500 Bridges

Talk about a life’s work: Conde McCullough (1887-1946) was the engineer who designed upwards of 500 bridges on the Oregon coast, most on U.S. route 101. Later, after passing the bar exam and moving to San Jose, Costa Rica, he helped on bridges of the Pan-American Highway. Prolific,… Learn More

Top Ten Number 2

Sandboarding on the Oregon Coast

Lon at Sand Master Park has seen photos of soldiers sandboarding from World War Two! It wasn’t until 1997 that international competitions in this highly “niche” sport began. Only very specific geography can accommodate the sport--including Oregon: welcome to the dunes of… Learn More

Top Ten Number 3

Cannon Beach

This four-mile-long beach along the northern Oregon coast is home to artists of all colors, sea stacks just off shore - such as Haystack Rock, which rivals Morro Rock on the central California coast - and a plethora of playing opportunities with your fellow sandrunners. Learn More

Top Ten Number 4

Cannon Beach Sand Castle Contest

The Oregon Coast makes for a genuinely grand getaway, and it gets even more charming with the annual summer Sand Castle Contest. It begins just after the morning’s high tide and ends at the next high tide. It usually begins around 6:30 am PST and ends around noon, tide… Learn More

Top Ten Number 5

Championship Cheeses of Tillamook

The elders have always known what is best, and their counsel continues wide and far to be disregarded by the young and the rash. But in Tillamook, the 99-year-old farming co-op of the Tillamook County Creamery Association has heeded the recipes and crafts of the original… Learn More

Top Ten Number 6

Whale Watching at Ecola State Park

A paved road from Cannon Beach makes the trek from the pristine thickets to the untouched beaches of Ecola State Park easy, and when you come around the final bend, the tableau of the great Pacific Ocean awaits. And wait until you see the whales! Learn More

Top Ten Number 7

Coastal Oregon Salmon Fishing

King salmon is a huge commodity in Oregon, and you don’t even have to brave the seas to catch them. The many major waterways along the Oregon coast are home to these tasty fish, and we would like to highlight just where to look for your 40-pounder! Learn More

Top Ten Number 8

Oregon Coast Aquarium

We asked ourselves: What’s better than being right on the Pacific Ocean? When we found Oregon Coast Aquarium we realized the only thing better than being by it is being in it! Underwater exhibits put you face to face with wildlife native to the Pacific. The perfect way… Learn More

Top Ten Number 9

Lincoln City Glass Floats

Glass floats were once used by Japanese fishing crews, and often ended up on the shores of Coastal Oregon. Today locals celebrate this time-honored tradition each winter with the Millennium Float Project – and you can begin your very own tradition by collecting these one-of-a-kind… Learn More

Top Ten Number 10

Lewis and Clark Wildlife Refuge

The Lewis and Clark Wildlife Refuge, near the mouth of the Columbia River by Astoria, is a fertile cradle for almost 1,000 tundra swans, 5,000 geese, and 30,000 ducks. Coastal birds like egrets, bald eagles, cormorants, and many more come here for protection, and for you… Learn More
