Port of Garibaldi
In times past, the Port of Garibaldi was a link to the outside world. Today it is a powerful component of the local economy, providing hundreds of jobs and serving as a key fishing and boating hub for tens of thousands of commercial fishermen, sportsmen and tourists every year. Formed in 1910, the district totals 346 square miles and encompasses the cities of Bay City, Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach stretching from the coast to the eastern boundary of Tillamook County. It is home to nearly 20 water-dependent businesses, four charter companies, 55 commercial fishing boats and the U.S. Coast Guard station. The 277-slip marina is the largest between Newport and Warrenton. Eighty-five percent of the state’s clam harvest is landed in Garibaldi.
