Coast along to your next beach holiday in Pacific City
If you're most at home by the ocean, Pacific City is the place for you. Situated on the Oregon coast, 2 hours' drive west of Portland, this beachfront town has a special kind of magic that keeps travelers coming back to their Pacific City vacation rentals year after year. Maybe it's the way the waves roll in past Cape Kiwanda, or the stunning views to be found along the 3 Capes Scenic Drive. Perhaps they come for the bald eagles or Canada geese, or maybe it's the opportunity to spot gray whales during their spring migration. What'll bring you to Pacific City?
There's more to Pacific City than, well, the Pacific
Today travelers come to Pacific City from far and wide, but the area's popularity certainly isn't anything new. If you're keen to learn more about the history of this stretch of the Oregon coast, head north to Tillamook County Pioneer Museum to get an insight into the lives of those who've called it home over the centuries. A relaxing afternoon can be spent exploring the tide pools at Cape Kiwanda Marine Gardens. Then, retreat to one of the eateries along Brooten Road to recharge your batteries. Perhaps find time, too, to explore a little further inland toward the Willamette Valley, and raise a glass in the heart of Oregon wine country.
Get stoked and tame the waves, or go looking for whales
You'll have no problem getting hold of a surfboard and a wetsuit in Pacific City. The ocean here sure isn't the warmest, but with some decent neoprene and the right attitude you're guaranteed to have a ball surfing the beach break. Try horse riding on the sand, grab your hiking gear and explore Cascade Head, or drive 10 minutes south to the golf course at Neskowin Beach. Nature lovers might be lucky enough to spot gray whales migrating off the coast, but you're sure to get the best view by taking to the sky for a hang gliding lesson.
Seasonal weather in Pacific City
If you're hoping to enjoy some warm-weather activities on your vacation, August, July, September and June are the hottest months to visit, when temperatures average 62°F.
Whether on land or water, commune with nature in Pacific City
It is of course Oregon's stunning scenery that entices most travelers to book Pacific City vacation rentals. Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a managed patchwork of 7 different types of habitat, and it plays an important role in supporting migrating dusky Canada geese. A trip to either Sand Lake Recreation Area or Bob Straub State Park will also provide endless opportunities for birdwatching. Stay in a vacation rental near the coast and you might be treated to some unforgettable views as the evening sun sinks beyond Cape Kiwanda.
