The Oregon Coast holds a special place in our hearts. We love visiting the ocean, so naturally, we visit the Oregon Coast often because it is the closest ocean to our home state of Idaho. We have spent many months exploring the coast cities and road-tripping up and down the Pacific Coast.
Outside of being the closest ocean to us, there are so many amazing things that make the Oregon Coast unique and well worth visiting. Some of our favorite things about the Oregon Coast are the tide pools, smaller tourist crowds, cooler summer temperatures, and quaint coastal towns. We have been visiting the Oregon Coast since we were kids and have the best memories of exploring the beaches.
A few years ago, we bought a RZR and have since enjoyed many visits to the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area near Coos Bay, Winchester Bay, and Florence to ride our RZR. If you ask Coltin, that is the best part about the Oregon Coast now.
Here are just a few of our many pro tips about the best coastal cities, hidden gems, and road-trip itineraries to enjoy the Oregon Coast!
