Frequently Asked Questions

The high season along the Central Oregon Coast is from late spring to early fall (May – September). Just as spring starts, as well as at the end of fall, visitors can enjoy mild weather and fewer crowds, along with clear, beautiful days. Winter is the slower season for Oregon’s coastal communities, with crisp days and a unique serenity all its own. Winters also typically tend to be rainier.

Highway 101, also known as the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway, stretches over 360 miles along Oregon’s rugged and inspiring coastline. With several pull-offs along the way, you can readily take in Oregon’s towering pines, coastal views, lighthouses, and incredible overlooks. Some of the most popular sites on Oregon’s central coast include:

  • Tillamook Coast: Start with a trip to the Creamery and then follow the Three Capes Scenic Loop to Cape Meares, Cape Lookout, and Cape Kiwanda
  • Depoe Bay – Otherwise known as the whale-watching capital of Oregon
  • Devils Punchbowl State Natural Area
  • The iconic Heceta Head lighthouse between Florence and Yachats

Oregon’s coast is a privileged location to spot whales on their biannual migration between the cooler waters of Alaska and Canada and warmer ocean temps in Mexico. In the winter, mid-December through mid-January are key whale-watching times along Oregon’s coast. Spring watchings tend to start in mid to late March and can last through early June. In addition, there are even resident whales that can often be spotted throughout the summer and fall. Depoe Bay is a hot spot for whale watching along Oregon’s coast.

Though still considered part of Oregon’s northern coast, Cannon Beach is a great beach for families as it offers tide pool exploration, terrific sand for sand castles, and the iconic Haystack Rock. Continuing along the coast, families will find fantastic kite-flying opportunities along expansive beaches near Manzanita. Rockaway Beach is also known for its family-friendly atmosphere, while Lincoln City offers over 7 miles of beaches. It’s worth adding that all beaches in Oregon are public, and there are plenty of access points at popular spots.
