1. Astoria*
Astoria, Oregon is the very first town when crossing the highway into Oregon from Portland. In fact, the 4.1 mile long bridge that spans the Columbia River from Washington to Oregon takes you right into Astoria. Don’t miss The Wreck of Peter Iredale, remnants of an actual boat wreck right on the beach at Fort Stevens State Park. The car park is free, there are toilets open until around 4 pm, and there’s a great state park campgroundright near the wreck as well! If you’re a movie buff, don’t m...
2. Seaside
Home to an absolutely massive annual beach volleyball tournament, Seaside is definitely a touristy beach town, but it’s cute! There are loads of restaurants, gimmicky tourist shops, and beachfront hotels. Except for when the beach is set up for the beach volleyball tournament, the sandy area is huge and has loads of space for all kinds of beach activities.
3. Cannon Beach*
Cannon Beach is literally the iconic beach of the Northern Oregon Coast. There’s a huge haystack rock, miles and miles of sandy beaches, and literally the cutest coffee shoparound. If you’re looking for a great nature escape with epic ocean views, head to Ecola State Park just north of Cannon Beach.
6. Lincoln City
Outlet malls, beach access, spas, casinos, and more can be found in Lincoln City. It’s your typical Oregon beach town for the central Oregon coast. It doesn’t have the small coastal town in Oregon feel, totally more for shoppers and beachgoers, but we thought we’d include it in the list! Lincoln City is a crowd favorite for those looking for more than just a day to play in the sand. save this post for later here…
7. Depoe Bay
Blink and you’ll drive right past it. Depoe Bay is home to the world’s smallest harbor, and I reckon it’s about the world’s smallest coastal town too! — Just joking, Scotland’s got to take the trophy for that! 😉 Anywho… Depoe Bay is well known for whale watching, meant to be great each year from March to December. The downtown area of Depoe Bay is right off the water’s edge, created by a wall that’s the length of the town with the ocean waters crashing right below it. Stop in at The Horn Pub...
8. Otter Rock
I’m not so sure you can classify Otter Rock as a town, but it’s cute nonetheless. The famous Devil’s Punch Bowl is located in Otter Rock. It’s a 1.8 mile out and back hike that can only be completed during low tide. The “town” of Otter Rock consists of Devil’s Punch Bowl State Natural Area — basically a really pretty viewing area of the ocean with great surfing, a large parking lot (with bathrooms) for all the tourists looking to find Oregon’s Devil’s Punch Bowl, a surf shop, winery, and coff...
14. Bandon*
Quite possibly the cutest coastal town on the entire Oregon Coast.. like by a long shot, Bandon is the place to go if you’re looking for all the Oregon coastal town feels! The buildings, the waterfront, the local artwork… The cute coast shops with kites and beach goodies. The candy and fudge store. Oh my, everything about Bandon is just adorable… even the trash cans! haha! For real… don’t miss this place!
15. Port Orford
Ever since cycling through Port Orford, I’ve had a love for the place. There’s the simplest beach lookout with bathrooms right on the corner going through the town, that just brings in the Oregon Coast charm. Like most other small coastal towns in Oregon, there are multiple fish shops and even a small art gallery. The last time we were there, we stopped at the Crazy Norwegians Fish and Chips and they’re the closest we’ve had to fish and chips from across the pond!
16. Gold Beach
Boasting about their year-round Christmas Shop, the harbor of Gold Beach is home to a cute ice cream shop, a coastal trinket shop, and of course their Christmas store. Gold Beach is where the Rogue River joins the Pacific Ocean, and is home to Jerry’s Rogue Jets, a jet boat company doing tours up the Rogue River. Don’t miss Turtle Rock just south of Gold Beach. The rock really does look like a turtle, the sandy area of the beach is huge, and the creek water is great for swimming!
