Top 10 Bridges 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.

The Astoria-Megler Bridge, on West Marine Drive, in Astoria, OR 97103 is elegant and a masterful feat of engineering. It is fun to drive over. 53 year old and the longest continuous truss bridge in North America, spanning the Columba River from Oregon to Washington.

I never get tired of photographing this bridge. It captures the uniqueness of the Yaquina Bay area, with fishing and pleasure boats often gliding underneath, and sometimes a rosy sunset behind it.

Beautiful bridge with Gothic arches under the roadbed and an overall Art Deco design. We picked up a take away lunch and ate with the river and bridge in view. One of several Oregon bridges of similar design that still grace the Oregon coast highway.

Patterson Bridge. There is a path to the right of the water. It goes all the way out to the river, under the bridge. There is a sitting area. It is beautiful.

One of the most beautiful bridges I have seen. Up close and from a distance it is an awesome sight. If you get a chance, go to Ferry Road, and you can drive under the bridge from the south side. Looking north at the underside of the bridge is like an enormous cathedral !

The Yachats ciovered bridge is a fun little drive 9 miles back into the coast range. This covered bridge is surrounded by private property so please be respectful . Also while there take a look at the old growth spruce tree on the embankment above the bridge. I would think it to be a world record .
