OREGON COAST TOUR

A driving tour of the Oregon Coast is an unforgettable experience that offers some of the most stunning scenery in the country. Our tour runs between Astoria at the Oregon – Washington border, and Florence in the south. You can drive the tour in either direction. And it’s your choice whether to start at one of the end points join anywhere along the route. You can drive this entire route in one superb getaway, or break it into smaller segments to keep coming back to explore new areas each time. 

The drive is an impressive contrast and collection of natural wonders – miles of wide sand beaches interrupted by headlands and outcrops of ancient volcanic rock. Forests of towering trees are laced with hiking trails that deliver you to panoramic views and sparkling waterfalls. The coast is filled with bizarre rock formations shaped by a millennia of pounding waves and historic lighthouses to keep passing ships clear of the danger. The wrecks of numerous of the unlucky ones can be explored on the sand to this day.

We’ll follow the human history of the original Native American tribes and their ongoing connection to these lands, and the settlers who forged a new life in the unknown west. The great expedition of Lewis and Clark finally reached the Pacific Coast here, and we can see samples of early fort life. The coast is an outlet for multitudes of rivers, and notable historic and stylish bridges ease our journey to cross these waterways.

It’s not all nature and beaches as we travel from beach town to beach town, each with there own distinctive personality. Many of the coastal towns have fun attractions, interesting place to dine, and brews to sample. There are world-class aquariums, whale watching cruises, beach fun parks amusements and many of our modern conveniences and entertainment to enjoy. Want to try the original Pronto Pup, a classic Oregon chowder – and how about a beer flavored with local cedar? All of those choices await you on your journey.
