Oregon coast road trip segment 3: Three Capes to Newport and Yaquinaĭistance: Tillamook to Newport – 110 km (68 miles) We recommend at least an hour here, more if it’s a meal stop too. It may not be one of nature’s highlights, but it was a fun and tasty addition to our day. Once in Tillamook, we enjoyed a free, self-guided tour of the Tillamook Cheese factory. Getting here requires about a half-mile walk from the parking lot at the highway.Īn unscheduled stop at an estuary between Haystack Rock and Tillamook. Here you will be at Oregon coast’s highest drivable point.Īlso, if you have extra time on your hands, stop at Smuggler’s Cove, a more secluded surfing beach that is located inside Oswald West State Park. During this segment, you will enjoy impressive views, especially those from the Neahkahnie Overlook, which you will come to just before (to the north of) Manzanita. The scenic Oregon coast drive fascinated us, and it was often the unexpected that we enjoyed the most. Oregon coast road trip segment 2: Cannon Beach to Three Capes (Tillamook)ĭistance: Cannon Beach to Tillamook – 64 km (40 miles) It’s a small group tour travelling via luxury vehicle. The tour is a lovely combination of driving and short hikes, so remember to wear comfortable shoes.
Driving the scenic coast, the highlights include Cannon Beach, two state parks, and several key landmarks. If you are staying in Portland and want to get out and enjoy the coast, but don’t want to drive, you can take a tour.Ĭarefully checking out the reviews, we recommend this 7-hour tour as the perfect solution. Alternative: Take a tour from Portland to Cannon Beach and beyond
