Description

Added by Sarah Horn

Peaceful, scenic, coastal park to run, walk or mountain bike

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 to chill and take in the sights, there are many places along the trail that look out to the water where you can set up a spot on the beach. Along the trail, you'll get panoramic views of the bay and the coastal range.

We took our dogs out to get some exercise during low tide and it was great; we went when there was very little traffic and we had the place to ourselves

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 ...

You'll most likely see other cars parked along the road. There'...

Capture the Coast at Night from Rockaway

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 bel...

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...
