5 Scenic Walking Areas in Oregon Coast That You Shouldn't Miss
The Southern Oregon coast is home to isolated beaches, rugged cliffs with breathtaking views of the Pacific and quaint seaside towns. If you stay in the Bay Area, go whale watching at Coos Bay or explore the region on a bike or a hike along the coastline. Antique shoppers will want to explore old town Bandon while golfers hit the links at the world-renowned Bandon Dunes golf course. And don’t forget to bring your fishing gear – you’ll want to cast for salmon and other Pacific Northwest fish at Gold Beach, one of the region’s top fishing spots.
The Central Oregon Coast is a great place for fishing, clamming, hiking, golfing and other outdoor activities. Take the kids and visit the Sea Lion Caves near Florence, the world’s largest. Head up to Newport for a view of the state’s second-tallest lighthouse and shopping in this seaside town popular with vacationers for the last century. Go fly a kite on the beach in Lincoln City, kite capital of the world.
The Northern Oregon Coast offers a relaxing way to enjoy the region. A stay in the scenic town of Astoria on the Washington border will allow you to explore the western edge of the Lewis and Clark trail, with views of the Columbia River and the Pacific. Walk the sandy beaches in Seaside and Cannon Beach and then grab saltwater taffy and other treats while shopping these seaside towns.

Most people mistakenly call sea stars star fish. They aren’t fish. Sea stars are one of the many wonders that can be seen at Strawberry Hill. During low tide, Pacific seals use the rocks as a haul out and at other times they can be seen feeding with their cute heads bobbing about. Take your binoculars and dress warm with rain gear.

We were traveling along the coast stopping in different little towns and made a stop in Oceanside and visited their beach. The coolest thing about it is that there was a tunnel going over to another smaller beach that you really couldn’t get to other than through the tunnel. Lots of rocks and shells and things to pick up on the beach and a few tidepools to see various kinds of marine life.
