Here are some suggestions for a memorable Memorial Day Weekend: 

Enjoy the Beaches 

The Oregon Coast is famous for its stunning beaches. Whether you prefer sandy stretches for strolling or rocky shores for tidepooling, there’s a beach for everyone. Popular spots include Cannon Beach, Seaside, and Lincoln City. 

Go Whale Watching 

Memorial Day Weekend is an excellent time for whale watching along the Oregon Coast. Gray whales migrate northward during this time, and you can often spot them from various viewpoints along the coast, or join a whale watching tour for a closer look. 

Explore Coastal Towns 

Take time to explore charming coastal towns like Astoria, Cannon Beach, Newport, and Depoe Bay. Each town has its own unique attractions, from historic landmarks to unique shops to delicious seafood restaurants. 

Visit State Parks 

Oregon’s coastal state parks offer beautiful scenery and outdoor activities. Consider visiting Ecola State Park for panoramic views, Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area for sand dunes and tidepools, or Cape Perpetua Scenic Area for old-growth forests and coastal viewpoints. 

Try Local Cuisine 

Indulge in the freshest seafood and sample seasonal ingredients at local restaurants. Don’t miss the chance to sample Oregon’s famous clam chowder, Dungeness crab, fish and chips, and tasty treats like huckleberry or marionberry ice cream, saltwater taffy, and chocolate seafoam.  

Go Hiking 

The Oregon Coast boasts numerous hiking trails with breathtaking coastal views. Whether you’re looking for an easy stroll or a more challenging hike, there are options for every skill level. Check out trails like the Cape Lookout Trail or the Oregon Coast Trail. 

Attend Local Festivals or Events 

Memorial Day Weekend often coincides with festivals, farmers markets, and other events along the Oregon Coast. Check local event calendars to see what’s happening during your visit and join in the festivities.  

Psst: Keep an eye out for glass floats hidden on the beaches of Lincoln City. Local float ferries will be hiding an extra 50 red, white and blue glass floats over the weekend. Remember if you find a glass float, it is yours to keep! 

Relax and Unwind 

Finally, don’t forget to take some time to relax and soak in the natural beauty of the Oregon Coast. Whether you’re watching a sunset, listening to the waves, or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the beach, savor these peaceful moments.  

Remember to book accommodations and activities in advance, as Memorial Day Weekend can be a busy time on the Oregon Coast. We can’t wait to welcome you!
