Public beach access means that protection is the responsibility of all of us. Give back and help keep the majestic beaches, forests and marine ecosystems clean on the People’s Coast by spending a few hours volunteering on your next vacation. Joining a beach cleanup or removing logs from old-growth hiking trails are two great ways to meet residents and make an impact that will be paid forward for generations. Here are even more fun and rewarding opportunities for you to make a difference on the Oregon Coast.

For beachgoing families, Oregon’s coastal destinations offer every kind of food from seafood shacks to date-night dining — and everything in between. While the Coast has many popular places that draw in crowds for good reason, residents and frequent visitors know to share the love with smaller eateries off the beaten path, especially in the busy summer season. We’ve rounded up some under-the-radar spots worth their salt so you can spend more time beachcombing than searching for a place to eat.
