Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area

Reviewed By 14hannon - Sonoma, United States

Just another amazing American road side natural attraction, the Jewelll Mountain Elk Reserve is definitely work a stop. We happened on this by chance; a logging truck was tailgating us on Hwy 26 so we pulled over. In front of us was an expansive green meadow with many elk chilling in the light rain. So peaceful, serene, and natural. We felt blessed chance brought us here. Plan you stop to be sure not to miss!

Saddle Mountain Trail

A five-mile round-trip hiking trail that culminates with dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean.

This is a very fun hike and is very easy until the last maybe half mile. Gorgeous views!! I actually wondered if I was going to finish but I just slowed down and kept going. It was totally worth it!

Tillamook Head National Recreation Trail

Reviewed By VinceA1 - Miami, United States

The fresh and wafting breeze emanating from the mighty and rough Pacific permeated my soul with a bliss and serenity. Contrasting that with the jagged coast and rough terrain made for a glorious reminder that the Oregon coast is God's own country.

Arcadia Beach State Recreation Area

Reviewed By HockeyPhil8 - Scappoose, United States

Arcadia Beach is Beautiful and Fun Beach to visit anytime of the year! A smallish parking lot, so get there early for the best spots. Right on Highway 101 and a short walk down the steps to the most Gorgeous sandy beach that's got a Terrific Surf very close. Some fun rocks to climb and there used to be a lot of rocks, shells, and agates until a high tide washed a whole lot of sand in and now it's hard to find them. Great picnic area and a Wonderful view!

Seaside Aquarium

The Seaside Aquarium is a small privately owned aquarium. A family of harbor seals awaits you at the front entrance, which you can feed. Food may be purchased after paid admission. Inside we 35 glass front tanks, which feature marine life found along the Oregon Coast. For the more adventurous, we have two touch tanks. Gently touch the sticky tentacles of a sea anemone or let a little hermit crab scurry around on your hand.
