Things to Do in Brookings, Oregon

On the Oregon Coast, we’re committed to welcoming all, and that includes celebrating LGBTQ+ visitors and residents during Pride month and all year round.  “Here on the coast, Pride isn’t just a parade or a party—it’s a commitment,” says Scott...

Every July 4, Oregon Coast main streets are lined with paradegoers, fireworks displays light up the night sky, and in between folks enjoy the holiday together on the Coast’s trails, downtowns, and beaches.  Whether you want to watch a parade...

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.

The Oregon Coast is a great place for the arts, not only because of its inspiring natural beauty, but also because of its many residents who are doing their part to infuse the region with creativity. Just ask fashion designer Becky Tonkin, cultural center director Niki Price and artist-curator Spencer Reynolds, three residents who are helping make the Coast a more culturally rich place.

Up and down the Oregon Coast, quiet lakes and slow-moving rivers open up a world of adventure to paddlers of all stripes. You never know when you might see Roosevelt Elk grazing on the shore near Tillamook, ospreys hunting for fish in Lincoln City or the occasional black bear trundling through old-growth forests along the Rogue River.
