Lush
evergreen forests, picturesque coastal scenery, rugged cliffs,
impressive sand dunes and vast sandy beaches await you along
the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway, US Highway 101. The Oregon
coast has fully developed resort communities with every possible
amenity to quiet coastal towns where the loudest sounds you'll
hear are waves on the shoreline and seagulls overhead.
The down-home environment of hospitality every season of
the year makes the Oregon coast memorable. There are many
recreational opportunities from fishing, cycling, flying a
kite on the beach, scuba diving, hiking through old-growth
forests, windsurfing and surfing, beachcombing, whale and
bird watching... the list is endless. There are also many
coast attractions including aquariums, art galleries, theaters
and festivals, parades and poetry readings. Many lighthouses
dot the Oregon coast and you'll find hundreds of parks to
explore.
