Take a short drive south to Winema Beach, another beautiful stretch of coastline with sandy shores, rock formations, a cave, and stunning views. It’s a bit less known than some of the more popular beaches, offering a quieter experience.
Neskowin and its surrounding areas are excellent for bird watching. Bring your binoculars and explore the local parks and beaches to spot various coastal bird species.
Check local regulations and, if permitted, try clamming or crabbing in the nearby coastal waters. It can be a fun and rewarding experience.
Take a short drive north to Pacific City, known for its iconic Haystack Rock and Cape Kiwanda. Explore the beach, enjoy dory boat watching, or try sandboarding on the dunes.
