Yachats coastline

Reviewed By R5216ESlindac - Grants Pass, United States

We keep coming back to Yachats for its wild coastline. You will find a lot of wild, rocky sections, sea stacks, peninsulas for whale watching, and places where the surf blasts up through a blow hole or a cauldron formed by water and rock. Keep your camera handy! Also, the beaches have plenty of agates and other small stones to find, moreso than sea shells. I always take along a bag for my agate treasures. There are tide pools to explore at low tide. And sometimes, a local from Yachats will draw a large maze or walking labyrinth in the low tide beach where the Yachats River empties into the sea. Access is from the south shore of the river. Along the viewpoints and the 804 trail, we've seen gray whales feeding close to shore in July and spouting as they migrate or feed at any time of year. A favorite trail is the Amanda Trail south of Yachats. Stop by the Cape Perpetua Interpretive Center or get a copy of Day Hikes - Oregon Coast by Bonnie Henderson to find this historic trail.

Lovely scenery, loads of good restaurants, seals, fishing boats, salt air, lots of shops and a boardwalk you can sit and watch the boats coming in and going and see the bridge which is an amazing view.

Garibaldi Boat Basin

Reviewed By BertaJean73 - Foxhome, United States

What a great marina. The little store staff are so friendly. Unfortunately, guys wanting to get out on the water can be a bit rude...but aren't all sea-men salty?

Coos Bay Boardwalk

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

We had a nice walk on the Coosbay Boardwalk. We were walking on a wooden boardwalk. While we were walking we saw boats and long white wooden benches. We saw some statues as well and a historical content: On July 23, 1922, fire destroyed more than 25 buildings. I liked that walk with its view. Worthwhile to see!

Pier's End

Reviewed By kennethdN5710EI - Portland, United States

Recently restored and offers amazing views of the bay and town. Way better than the pier at the marina. The crabbing was also pretty decent and I pulled up four keeper Dungeness and a big Red Rock to boot. There are only about eight or so pull offs on the otherwise narrow pier and the place is popular, so get their early to stake out a spot.
