The Oregon Coast is not a beach day — it is a mood: misty rainforest, thundering surf and little towns tucked between headlands. This full-day guided tour from Portland delivers the coast’s greatest hits, and 1,103 travelers rate it 4.95 stars.
The day wanders through Ecola State Park, where ancient Sitka spruce and fern-draped forest open onto jaw-dropping views of the rugged shoreline. Then comes Cannon Beach, the coast’s most beloved town: a long sweep of sand, the mighty Haystack Rock, art galleries and boutique shops. Along Highway 101 the tour stops at secluded beaches where you can watch hardy Oregon surfers take on the Pacific — and scan the waves for gray whales and sea lions.
It is a long, delicious day of salt air with all the driving done for you. From $139 per person, it is the coast trip every Portland visitor dreams about.
