Stunning Oregon Coast Viewpoints You Must Visit

The Pacific coastline offers some of the most scenic viewpoints in the United States, making it a popular destination for locals and out-of-state visitors. Here are some of the top Oregon Coast must-see places.

Astoria

Astoria is one of the oldest towns in Oregon, with panoramic views of the coastline, peaceful wooded trails and many exciting outdoor adventures. One of the top Oregon Coast viewpoints is the Astoria Column which allows visitors to climb 164 steps to the top and take in breathtaking views of the Columbia River and the town of Astoria. If you or your children prefer not to climb to the top, you can still take in incredible coastline views from the column's base.

Seaside

Looking to plan the perfect beach day for the family? Seaside, Oregon, is a charming beach town with wide, sandy beaches perfect for relaxing or sandcastle making. Visit the Seaside Carousel Mall where you can enjoy a ride on a classic carousel replica and explore the many unique shops. Also check out the 1.5-mile Seaside Promenade, known as the Prom, and the Seaside Aquarium which lets visitors of all ages have a hands-on experience with Oregon marine wildlife.

Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach is one of the most photogenic parts of the Oregon Coast. If you have ever seen a picture of the Oregon Coast, it was likely a picture of Cannon Beach with its iconic Haystack Rock.

As a family, make sure you explore Oregon Coast scenic spots such as Ecola State Park. It is one of the most photographed beaches due to its spectacular views of the forested cliffs and outcrops. You can also discover Oswald State Park and take in the rugged beauty of Oregon with ocean views and pristine beaches. Hike near the beach with your family or make it a rest point on a scenic drive along the 101.

Pacific City

Pacific City offers the best the beautiful Oregon coast has to offer in a secluded beach town. One of the top attractions for families in this picturesque coastal town is Pacific City Beach. Whether you and your family want to try your luck fishing or hike to the top of the dunes, this beach offers plenty of activities for any family. Note that Pacific City also has Haystack Rock. It is actually taller than the one at Cannon Beach — but it's less famous and sits about a mile offshore. 

Tillamook 

Tillamook is a quiet town offering the best country and city living. Some must-see destinations in this town are the Tillamook Cheese Factory and Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint

The Tillamook Cheese Factory offers tours of the cheese-making plant as well as a farm store that has Oregon-made food, drinks and other products. The Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint is a great location for a peaceful picnic and is home to many different kinds of wildlife as well as the chance to spot a whale in the water below.
