On the wild and beautiful North Coast of Oregon, a region stretching through Clatsop and Tillamook counties, adventure and renewal await for every sort of traveler.

The region’s wide, sandy coastline, state and national parks are a must, as are  activities like hiking, fishing and kite flying.

Fill your lungs with fresh air and see the world on foot or by bike with hiking trails that wind through the region; some of them are even interconnecting, and you can follow them between the towns.

Astoria offers hiking, beachcombing, boating, surfing, kayaking and even zip lining. Fishing, including chartering a trip, in the Nehalem Bay and River are popular Manzanita activities. Even the many events and festivals included in Seaside, Oregon, activities utilize the area’s natural resources for events ranging from beach volleyball tournaments to sandcastle building competitions.

We get it – you may love nature but camping in it, lacing up your hiking boots or pulling pine needles out of your hair at the end of each day? Maybe not so much. That’s cool too. You’ll have no problem finding North Oregon Coast activities to keep you busy. Discover the vibrant culture of these towns by visiting art galleries, exhibits, museums and theaters. Cultivate your own skill with Cannon Beach activities, like glass blowing classes or plein air art lessons.

Warm up a chilly evening when you unwind with a glass of wine next to a beachside winery’s fire pit. Film buffs and general fans love exploring the filming location of the cult classic Goonies. For another off-beat but also exciting attraction, try the time-honored Tillamook activity of visiting a cheese factory. Wherever the day takes you on the North Coast, it’s anything but boring!
