What to do and see in Oregon Coast, Oregon Coast: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
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.

I've been purchasing rocks and jewelry from Rock Your World for a couple of years now for myself and others. Every item I have purchased is perfect. The craftsmanship and quality of materials make each piece beautiful and durable. Rock Your World is a true gem in Lincoln City (Ha, see what I did there?)

6. Bronze Coast Gallery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 25 reviews
Bronze Coast Gallery was opened in Cannon Beach in 1993, on a foundation of knowledge and experience in bronze casting. This laid the groundwork for a gallery based upon the belief that education facilitates appreciation, and the gallery continues this mission today. As the face of bronze sculpture has changed over the years, so have the gallery offerings. A wide variety of sculpture is available, from classic limited edition bronze to unique and innovative contemporary artwork, as well as exquisite paintings. Representing over 40 artists from the northwest and beyond, we consider it a privilege to be involved with these extraordinary people and make it a priority to intricately understand their work in order to share the experience with others. The Bronze Coast Gallery is located in the heart of scenic Cannon Beach, 90 minutes west of Portland on the northwest Oregon coast.

Long time visitor who has visited them all and bought works from several, but my go to place is the Bronze Coast Gallery. The new owner, Joseph Clayton has a passion for art and the business and his enthusiasm is present when you walk in. He has replaced Kim the former owner admirably. Melissa on staff is excellent to work with and very knowledgeable. For special event weekends this is always a fun place to spend time.
