Things To Do And See On The Oregon Coast

There are many interesting things to do on the Scenic Oregon Coast. It all depends on what you are interested in.

There are kite festivals, whale watching, beachcombing, tide pooling as well as just relaxing on the beach.

Don’t forget the many museums and Visitor’s centers where you can learn a lot about the area.

Maybe you would just like to comb the beach for glass floats.

Lincoln City puts out more than 2000 glass floats every year on the beach each winter. You get to keep what you find and there is a possibility that you can win other prizes for finding one.

I have never been lucky enought to find one yet, but I keep on trying.

Gambling On The Oregon Coast

slots How about trying your luck. There are three casinos on the coast right now.

There is the Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City, the Three Rivers Casino and Hotel in Florence and The Mill Casino and Hotel in North Bend.

I have not tried the new one in Florence yet but maybe someday I will.

I like the one in Lincoln City because I have won there a few times.

Whale Watching and Golf On The Oregon Coast

Don’t forget about Whale Watching. There are many places along the Pacific Ocean to watch for whales. Watch for spouting heads and tails and you will have an experience to remember. I remember when I saw my first whale. It is an experience that you will never forget.

Do you like to golf? Then you will enjoy one of the best golf courses in America at Bandon. There are many great courses all along the coast.

Oregon Coast Beachcombing

My Dad was a rock hound and we use to spend hours combing the beach for agates. We found a lot of them at Agate Beach just north of Newport.

You can spend hour’s beachcombing on the Scenic Oregon Coast. You can find all kinds of pretty rocks and seashells.

If you can get to the coast right after a storm you will be able to find all different kinds of shells and driftwood. I use a lot of driftwood in my landscaping.

Different Things To Do At The Coast

With the many things to do at the Oregon Coast you won’t get bored.

There are many art gallery’s all along the coast and some of them have some beautiful art.

Some of the towns have cultural events for you to enjoy.

There are wine tasting events in Newport and different Art’s and Craft shows all year long at the coast.

Coastal Aquariums

Don’t forget about the wonderful aquariums at the coast.

The Oregon Coast Aquarium at Newport was where Keiko lived for a while. We did get to see him and he had all the kids loving him. In fact my daughter cried when he died.

The picture below is of Keiko.

There are also Undersea Gardens in Newport and the aquarium at Seaside.

Museums On the Oregon Coast

Museums are a popular place for visitors to learn the history of the surrounding area.

A lot of the towns have their own museum and if you can’t find it just stop at the Visitor’s Center and they will be more than willing to show you where it is.

They are full of history about the area and you can learn a lot by talking to the volunteers that work there.

Remember, Let The Waves Tickle Your Toes.
