• Sea Lion Caves - Sea Lion Caves is the largest sea cave in the United States, home to dozens, sometimes hundreds, of sea lions. If you’re keen on seeing, hearing, or smelling sea lions, this is the place to be. As you descend the elevators into the caves, you might want to cover your ears and nose.

Note: This 200-mile-long tour highlights the essentials of the Oregon Coast in 7-8 hours.

Purchase once, enjoy for a year! Perfect for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

• Florence - Florence is one of the larger communities on the Oregon Coast and, due to its proximity to the Oregon Dunes, it’s a hub for outdoor sports. If you’re on a longer driving itinerary, Florence is roughly the halfway point between California and Washington.
• Exploding Whale Memorial Park - Florence is known for one of the most infamous dynamite incidents, which became one of the first viral videos on the Internet. Let’s flashback to November 12, 1970, when a dead 45-foot sperm whale washed ashore just west of here.
• Washburne State Park Camping - Ahead is Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park, named after a former commissioner of the Oregon Highway Department. This park offers a wide beach, picnic areas, restrooms, and a large campground.
• Cape Perpetua - The Cape Perpetua area is approaching, featuring miles-long views, an ocean blowhole, a beautiful forest, and a visitor center for more information. A series of worthy stops will come up quickly.
• Thor’s Well - A safety officer advises caution. A water rescue is nearly impossible amid the churning waves, so be careful. If the tide is very high, stay on the paved trail and view everything from a distance.
• Heceta Head Lighthouse - The Heceta Head area offers great views and a beautiful 19th-century classic red-roofed lighthouse with a beam visible 21 miles out to sea.
• Thor’s Well - A safety officer advises caution. A water rescue is nearly impossible amid the churning waves, so be careful.
• Yachats - Soon arriving in Yachats, a perfect example of an Oregon Coast town. You’ll find great restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, a brewpub with unique ingredients like spruce beer, an excellent fish market, and shops for visitors.
• Waldport - While there aren’t any must-do stops, the town is pleasant with a couple of restaurants to choose from. This is where the Alsea River meets the Pacific Ocean, and an interesting bridge is coming up.
• Alsea Bay Bridge - Throughout this tour, there’s much discussion about how Conde McCullough built many of the bridges along the Oregon Coast. However, the bridge over Alsea Bay, opened in 1991, was not designed by him. The original bridge, designed and built in 1936 by McCullough, was replaced.
• Brian Booth State Park - Wouldn’t it be cool to have a park named after you? Approaching Brian Booth State Park, named in 2013 after the first Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission chairperson.
• Newport - There are several worthwhile stops in Newport if time allows and you’re ready for some exploration. The most recommended is a visit to the Bayfront.
• Yaquina Head - On the ocean side of the road is the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. “Outstanding” is part of the official name and is fitting. The Oregon Coast’s tallest lighthouse rises 93 feet above the cliffs.
• Beverly Beach State Park - Ahead on the inland side of the road, you’ll see the brown sign for Beverly Beach State Park. While you might not be randomly looking for a campground, it’s worth mentioning as a favorite spot to camp on the coast.
• Cape Foulweather - Driving the Otter Crest Loop, you’ll pass Cape Foulweather, which, depending on the day, is descriptively accurate. The first European to record seeing Cape Foulweather was British explorer Captain James Cook in March 1778.
• Boiler Bay - For a short jaunt at low tide, search for a derelict boiler tank from a steam-powered schooner that met an unfortunate end in 1910. The story is that an over-pressurized blow torch exploded, engulfing the ship.
• Fogarty Creek - Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area is ahead and is considered one of the best beaches in Oregon for its fantastic views, smashing waves, unique rock formations, spectacular tidal pools, and fossicking opportunities, particularly for agates.
• Cascade Head - Part of the UNESCO Cascade Head Biosphere, it includes 102,000 acres of rare and diverse ecosystems, including the Salmon River, a two-mile basalt headland covered in coastal prairies, forested uplands, and a marine reserve stretching into the Pacific waters, all proudly protected by the communities.
• Neskowin - Coming off Cascade Head, you’ll see the village of Neskowin, known for its ghost forest, identified by scientists as devastated by a past tsunami. At low tide, on the beach south of Hawk Creek, dozens of old tree stumps are visible, buried in the sand as a testament to the earth’s power.
• Cape Kiwanda - Ahead is the main attraction in Pacific City, Cape Kiwanda, and one of the three Oregon coast haystack rocks, the 327-foot-tall basalt outcrop called Chief Kiawanda Rock. Cape Kiwanda itself is a sandstone promontory jutting into the ocean.
• Netarts - The overlook ahead on the left, called Anderson’s viewpoint, is a great spot to view the coast and Netarts Bay.
• Cape Meares - There’s a Y intersection ahead. To visit the secret Tunnel Beach, keep left and enter the seaside village of Oceanside.
• Tillamook - Approaching the most popular visitor attraction on the Oregon Coast - the famous Tillamook Creamery. Beloved for generations, it’s a great place to see cheesemakers preparing cheddar bricks for grocery stores nationwide. Visitors can sample various Tillamook Cheese varieties, buy hard-to-find flavors and aged varieties, and pick up gifts for those who couldn’t join today.
• Astoria Column - If the weather is cooperative, head up the hill to Astoria Column, one of the most popular places in Astoria due to its elevated location with superb views in every direction, including across the Columbia River to Washington.
• Garibaldi - The village of Garibaldi is one of the Oregon Coast’s main fishing ports, and it’s a great place to pick up tuna, salmon, or crab, especially if you’re cooking meals on this trip. Even if not, canneries here preserve fresh catches for the journey home.
• Rockaway Beach - Rockaway Beach will soon be in view. This seaside resort colony was founded about a century ago and named after the famous beach community in New York City.
• Nehalem - U.S. 101 makes a sharp turn at the intersection of 7th and H streets. It’s well-signed and has a flashing light, so it should be obvious where to turn. Rest assured, the right way will be taken.
• Manzanita - Manzanita is known for its upscale eateries and stores and is a popular spot to own or rent a beach cottage.
• Cannon Beach - The official tour route goes through Cannon Beach, so if the exit is missed, don’t worry, there’s another exit ahead to reach Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park.
