Toledo
Toledo, situated on a bend of the Yaquina River and surrounded by wooded hills, is just seven miles inland from the Central Oregon Coast, the only inland coastal community with a deep water channel. The historic town cascades over the hillsides to the river. Once a bustling mill town, Toledo is known today for antiques, its community of artists living and working in Toledo, and shops specializing in fine yarns and locally handcrafted gifts.

Toledo is one of the few cities in Oregon which has a downtown on a city street, not on a throughway or highway. Toledo’s Main Street retains its historical flavor, the waterfront and fishing vessels visible moored at the end of Main.
When the wind starts to blow on the beach, Toledo is often warm and sunny. Antique shops, art galleries, gift shops selling the work of local crafters, a glass blowing studio, a fine yarn shop and restaurants make Toledo an interesting place to visit. Several world class artists make their homes here, taking inspiration from the small town atmosphere and beautiful river, estuary, and rural vistas.
