Toledo, situated on a bend of the Yaquina River and surrounded by wooded hills, is just seven miles inland from the Central Oregon Coast. It’s a charming riverside enclave in the woods.
Once a bustling lumber mill town, Toledo still has a rugged edge. Industries today include everything from boat repair businesses and Port of Toledo facilities, which support the fishing industry, to a vibrant arts community featuring local artisans and crafters. It’s the only city on the Oregon Coast which has a downtown on a city street—not on a throughway or highway. Toledo’s waterfront retains its historical flavor with a strollable Main Street. Follow it past specialty shops, art galleries, gift shops with local wares, and a clay works studio to a fleet of fishing vessels moored at the road's end.
