Meet on the Beautiful Tillamook Coast
A welcoming atmosphere for your event
Just 70 miles, and less than 90 minutes from Portland and the Willamette Valley, the Tillamook Coast offers charming villages, breathtaking views, and a welcoming atmosphere for your executive retreat, team building event, board meeting, association banquet, niche and hobby group gatherings, and small business conferences.
Take advantage of many group activities
Stretching along scenic Highway 101 for more than 70 miles, the Tillamook Coast includes Manzanita in the north to Neskowin in the south. Your group will be inspired by gathering near the ocean, bays, rivers, farms, forests and villages. Group activities abound, from golfing and hiking, to kayaking and fishing. Of course, there’s nothing like taking in a sunrise or sunset on the most beautiful part of the Oregon Coast.
