Wherever the surf meets the beach, a rocky bluff, a dune, or a stand of wind-whipped Sitka spruce, that land is free and open to everyone. It can’t be built up, fenced off, or claimed as private; it belongs to us all.
But the Oregon Coast is much more than where the ocean meets the sand.
The Coast is also the roaring rivers, fish-filled lakes, craggy mountains and primordial forests up and down and inland from the ocean. It’s the small cities bustling with discoveries, the fishing villages rich with character, and the tide pools, whale watching, lighthouses, restaurants and everything else in between.
The Coast offers not just the best of Oregon, but some of the best of planet Earth—aching natural beauty in every form, recreation for every appetite and ability, some of the best ingredients anywhere ripe for the foraging or cooked to order, and of course the interesting people who call this magical place home.
It’s the rare place where you can go alone—or with family or friends or even a first date—and find wonder and majesty, solitude and contemplation, fulfillment and connection, questions, answers, and new questions.
Because it truly is open, inviting, and inspiring to everyone who respects and loves the natural world, it remains the People’s Coast—especially for people like you.
