Meet the other Charleston. This charming fishing village in Oregon redefines the pretty-as-a-postcard setting. Under a near cloudless blue sky, the pristine waters shimmer, a vibrant marine serves a number of fisherman and boat operators, and plenty of restaurants offer the area’s most delectable catches. It’s all up for grabs when you book a Charleston vacation rental. Many in the northwest consider it the area’s crown jewel—a truly beautiful spot that is simply unspoiled and perfect for the next time you truly need to get away from it all.
Are you hoping to find attractions to see while you're in town? Venture out of your vacation home and check out everything that makes Charleston a fun spot to vacation. Here are some of the most popular attractions to put on your list, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city center:
If you’re an outdoorsy type, it makes sense that you'd book a Charleston vacation rental in the hopes of experiencing the area’s beauty. Why not take the family and go camping at Sunset Bay State Park? If you’re feeling a little adventurous, a guided boat excursion is a fun way to explore what’s going on under the sea while taking in the area’s magnificent beauty. Shopping junkies will find paradise at the Charleytown Marketplace, a shop packed with one-of-a-kind finds and souvenirs designed by some of the area’s finest artists.
Unless you had snow in mind when you booked your Charleston vacation rental, you won’t miss the fact that flakes don’t fall here. In July, it may top out at a comfortable 70 degrees. In fact, proximity to the water is what makes Charleston so cool, breezy, and relaxed. If you’re in the area during winter, be aware that it can get as cold as 40 degrees, which is, at the very least, light jacket weather. It’s not always sunny in Charleston, but the weather is particularly pleasant if you appreciate a light breeze and don’t miss the occasional drizzle.
Perhaps the most humbling site here is the view of frothy waves crashing against the rocks at Shore Acres State Park. The area is also home to over 40 miles of sand dunes, which provide a desert-like atmosphere. Charleston also sits at the entry to Coos Bay, over which craggy rock formations add character to an already breathtaking spot. Cape Arago State Park is just a mile south, and its highlight is an overlook that offers near flawless views of sea lions, seals, and other fun marine creatures below. If you book a Charleston vacation rental for no other reason, make it this.
