Oregon’s Tillamook Coast: Sweet Family-Fun Destination Any Time of Year

From Manzanita south to Neskowin, you’ll find a variety of tours, attractions and activities that encompass some or all of the towns in between, and showcase the incredible landscape. Kayak Tillamook schedules tours all up and down the Tillamook Coast. These forays include 30 minutes of instruction, two hours of kayaking, a professional guide and all the gear you need.

Go for a horseback ride on the beach near Manzanita with Oregon Beach Rides and in Pacific City with Green Acres Beach & Trail Rides. 

Spend two hours exploring the area with Oregon Coast Tours and see Three Capes, find the best places to view the sunset and delve into local history. Most tours start in Pacific City, but other pick-up spots can easily be arranged.

A new way to explore, the North Coast Food Trail, lets you take the reins and decide where to eat, shop farmers' markets, take a cooking class and more.
