Build a bonfire at the beach. If you stay there late, get amazing night time photos with clear skies. Duration: Evening.

Clear nights on the Oregon Coast can be hard to come by, and your best bet to grab night time photos of the coast is in the Summer.

This particular section of the coast is relatively quiet in the Summer time. You can park your car easily along the road that gives you access to the beach. This is a great destination to watch the sunset, and to continue gazing into the sky after it has slipped below the horizon

Capture the Coast at Night from Rockaway

We had a family vacation that was right here and we had a fabulous time. It had always been a desire of mine to have a beach bonfire and you are allowed to do that here! Beautiful beach. We were here during the summer and it was very often cold and windy, but we still had a wonderful time!

Walked 350 miles of the OCT this fall and got a chance to breath in a huge portion of Oregon's incredible coastline. I'm from Rockaway Beach NYC so it was only fitting that this would be my first stop on my journey. I loved every moment of it.

Explore Bayocean Peninsula Park

Located just west of Tillamook on the way to Cape Meares is an expansive forested park that juts out into Tillamook Bay. The main "trail" is an old unpaved narrow road called Bayocean Dike Road that stretches 4 miles down to the point. It's perfect for a long run, leisurely hike or mountain biking. There are multiple trails that branch off of Bayocean and head into the forest. If your goal is t...

Crabbing at the Brighton Marina

Crabbing is just one of those things everyone should do along the Oregon Coast. Its fun, fairly straightforward, and then you get to eat them! Total win-win. We were taking our time along the Oregon Coast and had heard that Kelly's Brighton Marina was a great place to learn to crab. For $100/hour (2014) we were able to rent a boat, bait, traps, and all the gear we needed to head out into Nehale...

Explore the Cape Meares Lighthouse

This historic site served as a major lighthouse for years and was turned into a scenic viewpoint offering some rad views of the Oregon Coast. The park is located only about 10 miles west of Tillamook. The parking lot has limited space so get there as early as you can. The Cape Meares lighthouse sits about 38ft above the water and is only a 0.2 mile walk from the parking lot. While there is ...

Camp at Nehalem Bay State Park

Nehalem Bay State Park is a great central location on the Oregon Coast to use as a base camp, whether you want to go south to explore Cape Kiwanda or go north to photograph the famous Cannon Beach. There are six loops: A-F, and only A-C are open in the winter. The only first-come-first-served area is Loop C, but you shouldn't have an issue finding a campsite especially in the off-season. We too...

Hike along Short Beach, Oregon

Hike: The trail is basically a handmade wooden staircase that takes you all the way down to the beach, so once you locate it, just keep following the stairs all the way down until you've reached the beach.Directions: Drive North along Cape Meares Loop Rd just past Oceanside until you reach the point where it intersects Short Creek. You'll most likely see other cars parked along the road. There'...

Take a Stroll to Tunnel Beach, Oregon

The main beach is located adjacent to Oceanside Beach State Park, which can be accessed via Cape Meares Loop/Netarts Oceanside Hwy.Once you arrive at the park, head down towards the beach and start walking North. You'll notice a little hole-in-the-wall past a small group of rocks which you'll have to step over. Take precaution during storm season, as rocks above the tunnel entrance have been kn...
