Coast Your Way to a Great Vacation
Discover the Tillamook Coast
The Tillamook Coast is just a short, scenic drive from Portland or the Willamette Valley—and it’s the perfect destination for affordable local travel. Here, you can slow down, savor the scenery, and reconnect with nature, all on a modest travel budget.
Relaxed Coastal Adventures
Stroll wide, peaceful beaches and spits. Watch for eagles and herons along Tillamook and Netarts Bays. Cast a line from a dock or water’s edge, or enjoy an easy coastal trail with a view. Don’t miss the area’s cultural heritage museums, scenic drives, and Cape Meares Lighthouse.
Local Flavors and Coastal Comforts
You don’t have to go far for just-caught seafood, farm-fresh ingredients, or small-batch craft brews—it’s all right here on the Tillamook Coast. Dine at local cafés, grab a meal from a food truck, or shop the farmers market for a picnic at the beach. Pick up ingredients for a cozy dinner in your vacation rental, or enjoy a relaxed happy hour with a view.
Comfortable, Budget-Friendly Lodging
Choose from cozy inns, family-run B&Bs, or peaceful vacation rentals—all offering comfort and value. Many properties include amenities like walk-in showers, kitchenettes, and proximity to dining, parks, and quiet stretches of shoreline. Off-season stays mean even more savings and serenity.
Coastal Simplicity at Its Best
Whether you’re here for a quiet weekend or an extended stay, you’ll find joy in the rhythm of the tides, the warmth of small-town hospitality, and the ease of travel that doesn’t require flying or long-distance planning.
Visit in fall, winter, or spring for big savings and fewer crowds. Plan your trip with confidence knowing that here, less travel means more relaxation.

Spend less. Experience more.
There are plenty of low- or no-cost options for outdoor activities and family fun on the Tillamook Coast.
Explore our beaches and tidepools, kayak or paddleboard on the bays, or hike forested trails that wind through old-growth beauty. Crabbing, clamming, and fishing? All within easy reach.
Or for more urban adventures, try your hand at pickleball in Nehalem or disc golf in Tillamook—where the first nine holes of the new course at The Port of Tillamook Bay are now open, right next door to the Tillamook Air Museum (another family-friendly stop).
