The 10 Best Gear Rentals in Oregon Coast, Oregon Coast
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.

We made an impromptu stop in Florence and discovered the dunes. Me and my 79 YO dad went in a 2 person dune buggy and my 15 yo daughter and 17yo son (neither have there drivers licenses) drove their own quads. The scenery is amazing and worth every cent. Throw in the thrill of riding fast along the coast or attempting the massive dunes or sandy forest trails and this is better than any other activity we did in Oregon. 1st come 1st serve on the rentals so it is best to get there early or at lunch. Full Throttle did a thorough safety briefing. Highly recommend this place. We also stayed at the Lighthouse Hotel in Florence. Old family run hotel. It was clean, a bit run down but homey and obviously well loved and clean (imporatant during COVID). The owners make homemade waffles, muffins, buscuits and gravy for breakfast for their guests. We had a fantastic dinner on the patio overlooking the river at Waterfront Depot in Old Town Florence. Wish we had more time for antiquing since there were 3 or 4 promising stores in town.
