Oregon Coastal Towns
Looking for Oregon Coastal towns to visit? Villages of the Tillamook Coast dot the coastline like a string of pearls, each jewel shining with its own character. A visit to the Oregon Coast isn’t complete without exploring each town.
Barview
Barview is home to one of the most popular camping sites and fishing spots on the Oregon Coast. There’s a general store stocked with fishing and camping gear, and what many think is the best pizza in the region.
Bay City
Bay City is busting with things to do. Pedal with the Oregon Coast Railriders, play disc golf, or walk the trails of Kilchis Point Reserve. Top off the day with fresh seafood and oysters at Fish Peddler.
Beaver
This village was named for the North American beaver that once dominated the creeks, mountains and buttes around the area, and can still be found building dams and homes in local waters.
Brighton
One of the high points is Kelly’s Brighton Marina with holding tanks containing live crabs, clams, oysters and other local sea critters. Sitting around the fire pit and telling stories about “the one that got away” is always entertaining.
Cape Meares
Comprised of stunning vertical sea cliffs and rolling headlands of native Sitka spruce and hemlock, it is home to the Big Spruce (Oregon’s largest Sitka).
Cloverdale
Hebo and Cloverdale are in the heart of dairy farm country, and offer some of the best river fishing on the coast.
