County

Tillamook County offers a plethora of activities to visitors and locals alike, ranging from a host of beautiful outdoor locales to explore to a collection of museums and the world-famous Tillamook County Creamery association. With a smattering of small communities, oregon’s north coast appeals to outdoor enthusiasts or those looking for a break from the travails of everyday life in a bucolic surrounding. from miles of picturesque, white-sand beaches to the forested coastal range, the county’s three capes to acres of cow pastures, Tillamook offers a prime opportunity to bond with family and friends or enjoy a moment of solitude in a unique and rural corner of oregon.

Entering the county from the north, travelers first encounter Oswald West State Park, which features a collection of trails through the forest and several beaches popular with surfers. The park is also home to the 1,680-foot-tall neah Kah nie Mountain, which can be summitted on a section of the oregon Coast Trail, offering commanding views of the coastline as far south as Cape Meares. Just south of the mountain are the trio of north county cities, Manzanita, nehalem and Wheeler, each of which offers exciting dining, shopping and recreational options, as well as seasonal events.

Travelers down Highway 101 next encounter Rockaway beach, a longtime beachside respite known for its Fourth of July festivities and the original Pronto Pup location. Meandering down the coast further alongside the rails of the oregon Coast scenic Railroad, drivers will pass the mouth of Tillamook bay and small unincorporated community of barview, before making their way into Garibaldi, which was named a Coast Guard City in 2023 and is home to a historic Coast Guard boathouse and lively marina with impressive views of Tillamook bay. next up is bay City, home to the Tillamook County smoker, as well as several tasty restaurants.

Tillamook, the county seat and largest population center in the county, is up next on a southward jaunt through the county. nestled on an elevated patch of land at the southern end of Tillamook bay, the city is the county’s largest commercial hub and home to the Tillamook County Creamery association and its visitors’ center, which sees over one million visitors annually. other attractions in and around the city include the Tillamook Pioneer Museum, Tillamook Air Museum in the historic Hangar B at the Port of Tillamook Bay just south of the city, the latimer Quilt and Textile Center and an assortment of local shops and restaurants.

Heading west, travelers will quickly find themselves back near the Pacific, in the small town of Netarts, with oceanside and its famous tunnel beach and the Cape Meares lighthouse and national Wildlife Refuge to the north and Cape Lookout State Park to the south. In the other direction, a little more than 20 miles up Highway 6 into the coastal range, visitors can find the Tillamook Forest Center, an Oregon Department of forestry educational center that opens for limited hours during the summertime. The Tillamook state forest is also home to a host of trails for hiking, as well as areas for off-highway vehicle activities.

farther south from Tillamook, the county becomes more pastoral, as Highway 101 remains inland, winding its way through forests, cow pastures and the small communities of beaver, Hebo and Cloverdale. Detour down Brooten Road for a stop in Pacific City, the second largest unincorporated community in Oregon, home to a large dory boat fleet, picturesque haystack rock and monumental sand dune in Cape Kiwanda state natural area. back on 101, the county’s southernmost unincorporated community is Neskowin, home to a ghost forest and Proposal Rock.

In addition to a plethora of beautiful hikes available in the county’s four state parks and the state forest, there are also opportunities for off-highway vehicle activities at sand lake Recreation area, run by the United states Forest Service, and ample chances to fish and hunt. From Chinook and Coho Salmon, steelhead and trout in the county’s rivers and bays to albacore tuna and halibut off its shores and oysters, clams and crabs in its intertidal areas, visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to sampling the ocean’s bounty.

so, take the chance to sample local seafood, cheese, ice cream or beer while in the county and stop by a local farmers’ market to sample local produce as part of your visit. We hope you will enjoy your time here and if you want to learn more about local happenings pick up the latest copy of the Headlight Herald or visit us online at tillamookheadlightherald.com.

Manzanita

This beautiful beach town is named for the Manzanita shrubs covering the hillsides, which have fruit that look like little apples; in fact “Manzanita” is “little apple” in Spanish. Manzanita is the northernmost community in Tillamook County, and faces the ocean. Laneda Avenue, the main street of town, leads directly to the beach. Manzanita lies between Highway 101 and the ocean, at the base of Neahkahnie Mountain, a 1,700 foot peak. The town is bracketed by two state parks, Oswald West State Park on the north and Nehalem Bay State Park on the south. A rugged trail up Neahkahnie Mountain leads to a breathtaking panoramic view of the northern Oregon coast and the Pacific Ocean. Legend has it that there is treasure buried on Neahkahnie Mountain, but it has never been found.

Manzanita offers access to seven miles of sandy beach with views of beautiful Neahkahnie Mountain. This breezy beach is popular with windsurfers and kite flyers. There is a popular nine-hole golf course close to the beach. The whole village is known for being dog-friendly: dog bowls can be found in front of storefronts and are welcome at many restaurants.

and exhibitions. Seasonally, the Manzanita Farmers Market is a great place to stock up on locally grown food, browse through a variety of vendors and get something yummy to eat while enjoying live music. The town has a Fourth of July parade, and winter holiday festivities that start Thanksgiving weekend and run through the annual New Year’s Day. Just south of Manzanita, along the coastline, is Nehalem Bay State Park, situated on the four-mile Nehalem Spit on the west side of Nehalem Bay. It features day use areas, RV, tent and yurt camping close to the beach, a horse camp and a hiker/bike camp. There are hiking and hiking trails, boat ramp, a meeting hall and a 2,400’ airstrip. The park is closed for upgrades with reopening scheduled in July 2025.

Oswald West State Park

Named to honor Oregon’s 14th governor, Oswald D. West, Oswald West State Park is located on U.S. Hwy. 101 four miles

north of Manzanita.

One of the most spectacular state parks in Oregon, Oswald West encompasses 2,484 acres and features a 13-mile segment of the Oregon Coast Trail crossing its two prominent headlands, Cape Falcon and Neahkahnie Mountain, as well as Short Sands Beach, popular with surfers.

Erected by Oregon Department of Transportation, at the south end of the park along Highway 101, there is a viewpoint that features a historical marker honoring governor Oswald West. Because of the passing of his 1913 bill declaring Oregon’s seashore a public highway, a law was passed ensuring that the land between the high and low tide on the entire Oregon coast could not be privately owned.

Parking is limited, but the stretch of Neahkahnie Mountain near the Oswald West marker features several pullouts with expansive views of the ocean and coastline. It is a popular location for seasonal whale watching.

nehalem, Mohler, brighton & nehalem bay

Nehalem

Nehalem, and the river and bay attached, are named for the Native American tribe. “Nehalem” is a Salish word that means “place where people live.” The town was settled in the 1850s because of its proximity to the river and to the lush farmlands upstream.

Nehalem was a lumbering town; logs came to town by way of a rail line that ran up the Nehalem River, and part of the mill was built over the river.

There’s a boat launch in the center of town. The community has a grocery store, restaurants, a couple food carts, and shops to explore.

The old Nehalem Elementary School building, which has North County’s only swimming pool, is now home to the North County Recreation District and features performances by the local Riverbend Players theater group.

Mohler

Unincorporated Mohler, up the Nehalem River by Highway 53, is farm country. It was named in 1911. Mohler had its own post office from 1897 until 1959.

Today, Mohler is a quiet corner of Tillamook County and reflects that in the attitudes and ways of life of the residents living there. The main attraction to visit is the local winery with tasting rooms and seasonal events.

There is a grocery store with a deli. Further west on Highway 53 is the White

Clover Grange, an historic building available to rent for special occasions and where community events are held throughout the year.

Br ighton & Nehalem Bay

Brighton Beach, where Nehalem Bay meets the ocean, was named after England’s seaside resort of Brighton, in the obvious hope it would become a popular vacation spot. Three miles south of Wheeler on Highway 101, Brighton platted in 1910, had a sawmill that produced spruce lumber for aircraft during World War I and a Southern Pacific railroad depot. Today, Brighton is home to waterfront marinas and RV

parks.

You may notice the highway mile markers through this area – between Wheeler and Rockaway – all have a “Z” prefix (and the numbers don’t match up with the mile markers on the rest of the highway). That’s because this stretch of Highway 101 was supposed to be temporary. As designed, the highway was to cross Nehalem Bay and run along the Nehalem Bay spit to Manzanita. The Great Depression happened instead. The resort community envisioned on the Nehalem Bay spit was never built and the county got the land, now Nehalem Bay State Park, for unpaid taxes.

Wheeler: a Coastal Gem full of surprises

Wheeler isn’t just another coastal town—it’s a place that sparks curiosity. With stunning views, interesting shops, and a touch of mystery, it’s the perfect spot to explore. Some even say there are ghosts!

Wheeler was incorporated as a city in 1913 and was prosperous in its early years.

Today, it’s a charming, off-the-beatenpath destination with a unique mix of history, nature, and rural character.

Today, a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as several hotels, line Highway 101 through downtown, while more businesses are grouped along the waterfront.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love Wheeler’s waterfront park, boat launch, and marina. Whether you’re into fishing, crabbing, or gliding across the bay in a kayak, adventure awaits where the river meets the sea. Come for the views, stay for the stories—who knows what surprises you’ll find in Wheeler!

Rockaway beach

Rockaway Beach is Tillamook County’s second-largest town. It was developed around the turn of the last century as an oceanfront resort by the Rockaway Beach Company, and was named after the oceanfront resort on Long Island. The two are still “sister cities.”

With seven miles of ocean beaches, Rockaway Beach (the “Beach” was added to the name in the 1980s) is one of the more affordable Oregon coast destinations.

The railroad connecting Tillamook to Portland came through Rockaway Beach in 1911. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad still runs seasonal passenger trains to and from Rockaway and Garibaldi. Highway 101, next to the railroad tracks, is bordered by a business district where you’ll find cafés, banking, realty offices, grocery shopping and stores of many kinds to explore.

On the north side of town is Lake Lytle (named after one of the builders of the railroad). The lake, sparsely surrounded by homes, has several boat ramps; the public one is on Highway 101. The lake is regularly stocked with trout.

Festivals and local events throughout the year attract photographers and visitors for art, crafts, authors, food and music. They

are held in the heart of downtown at the Rockaway Beach State Wayside. Originally the site of a saltwater natatorium, it is now the most accessible public beach access point in town and features sweeping views of the ocean waves meeting the sandy beach and of the striking 100-foot high Twin Rocks located off-shore to the south. There is parking and here you will find the Chamber of Commerce Information Center located in a restored red caboose, as well as the train stop.

Rockaway Beach is home to the International Police Museum featuring permanent and rotating exhibits relating to police history. It is

open year-round and admission is free. Another popular attraction is the Cedar Wetlands Nature Preserve.

Rockaway Beach is lively in the summer with an annual kite festival and a packed Fourth of July weekend. The popular Fourth of July Parade is followed in the evening by a fireworks display over the ocean.

South of Rockaway Beach, where Til lamook Bay meets the Pacific Ocean you’ll find the small community of Barview, notable for the Barview Jetty and Barview Jetty County Park . There is a small grocery store close to Highway 101 and a parking area near the beach and jetty.

Discover Cedar Wetlands Nature Preserve

The Cedar Wetlands Preserve was annexed to the City of Rockaway Beach in 1980. It provides convenient access to a lush, diverse old growth ecosystem via a 4’ wide ADA compliant boardwalk completed in 2020 that stretches from Highway 101 to the preserve’s centerpiece, a 500 to 700-year-old Western Red Cedar tree. It is 49” in circumference and may be one of the few coastal trees to survive the impact of a tsunami wave in 1700.

The preserve also contains many large trees native to the area and a wide variety of indigenous flora, with Heitmiller Creek running throughout.

Folks of all ages can enjoy this easy hike. There are turnouts, curbs and railings along the boardwalk, plus benches and a picnic table on the observation deck that surrounds the tree.

The walk is open during daylight hours, yearround with a small parking lot that features an ADA outhouse and a drinking fountain in the parking lot, but no facilities are available on the boardwalk.

The Old Growth Cedar Preserve Trailhead is just off Highway 101 north of Spring Lake near E Washington Street (by the Welcome to Rockaway Beach sign).

Heading south from Barview at the northern end of Tillamook Bay, you will know you are nearing the fishing town of Garibaldi when you see the beautiful sandstone formations, known as The Three Graces , near the shores of Tillamook Bay. They are popular as a hangout for shorebirds, photographers and beachcombers at low tide.

Garibaldi was platted in 1860 by Daniel

Bayley, who became the first postmaster. In 1879, he named the settlement after Italian hero and fisherman Giuseppe Garibaldi, whom President Lincoln had tried to recruit to lead the Union armies in the Civil War. Garibaldi is home to Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay, established in 1908. Today, the station’s area of responsibility is Tillamook Head to Cape Kiwanda. Station Tillamook Bay averages 250 search and rescue cases annually.

Highway 101 cuts through Garibaldi’s business district, which is several blocks long. Basic services include gas marts, a grocery store, liquor store, barber, a food cart court, restaurants, a chocolate

shop, motels, and more. A myrtlewood outlet and shops are here to explore. The Garibaldi Maritime Museum , founded to commemorate the Oregon coast’s “discovery” by Captain Robert Gray in 1788, features a collection of maritime and historical memorabilia.

The hub of the town these days is the Port of Garibaldi , a sprawling complex set on docks over Tillamook Bay. This is an invigorating setting filled with fresh air that brings one into immediate contact with the nostalgic commercial fishing and charter boat culture of the Pacific Northwest. There is a working fishing marina lined with seafood processing facilities and, with local fresh seafood outlets open to the public, this is a destination for seafood aficionados. The port is also home to popular restaurants and there is plenty of room for the public to park and enjoy a good walk and take in the sights. The Lion’s Club Lumbermen’s Park features playground equipment for the kiddos. Here you’ll find a vintage Baldwin 2-8-2 No. 90 logging locomotive

displayed. The Port operates a small RV park that is located close to the public boat launch and pathway along the bay that leads to Garibaldi’s historic United States Coast Guard boathouse, Pier’s End , now a popular crabbing and fishing destination. There is also a busy lumber mill at the Port of Garibaldi. In the warmer months the Port of Garibaldi features a large event tent where the Garibaldi Seafood & Spirits Festival and other seasonal events are held.

Located at the south end of town, a historic 230-foot smokestack sits on a peninsula that was formerly the site of a busy plywood mill. Currently, there is a large rv park with an event center nearby that is home to the annual Garibaldi Crab Races. During the winter holiday season there is a Holiday on the Square event held the first Saturday after Thanksgiving that includes the town’s Christmas tree lighting. The town’s largest event of the year is Garibaldi Days held in late July, complete with a festive parade, vendors of all kinds, live music and a fireworks show over the bay.

Located next to Lumberman’s Park is the original one room Garibaldi Train Depot , now home to Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad . Operating May through September, several daily roundtrips to Rockaway Beach are offered. To also be enjoyed are special seasonal train excursions including the Candy Cane Express with Santa over the

holiday season.

Originally constructed of wood in 1930 by Garibaldi school students, the huge letter G situated above the town on Captain Gray Mountain is a famous Oregon coast landmark beloved by locals. Now made of metal, the

structure and the property it stands on are maintained by community groups. Affectionately known as “Big G,” the structure is particularly beautiful at night where it can be seen for miles, evoking a welcoming gesture and sense of community pride.

Historic Coast Guard boathouse

By Will Chappell

Located at the end of a quarter-mile pier at the north end of Garibaldi, the Historic United States Coast Guard Boathouse gives visitors a chance to view a unique chapter in the area and guard’s histories.

The boat house was originally constructed between 1935 and 1936 to house two new 36-foot lifesaving boats, as well as a 26-foot, manually propelled surfboat that had previously been the only vessel stationed in Tillamook Bay. Located at the end of a 650-plus-foot pier, the boathouse previously contained three

Under The Big G Food Pod

sets of rails, down which carriages holding the boats would be lowered into the water.

At the time, it was standard practice for the coast guard to construct boat houses in this manner, according to Denning, although the Tillamook Bay boathouse was the last built using this design.

Operations began at the boat house in 1937, after a delay in procuring the carriages to move the boats prevented a 1936 opening. For the first six years of the boathouse’s existence, guardsmen still lived in the old station in Barview, until new housing opened across Highway 101 from the boathouse in 1943.

The boathouse’s mission began to scale down in the mid-1960s when two new 44-foot lifesaving boats were stationed at the Port of Garibaldi. For the next decade, the boathouse remained operational as guardsmen used the aging boats for towing practice, but by the mid-1970s it was decommissioned before ownership was transferred to the Port of Garibaldi in 1980.

After serving as home to several businesses over the next decades, the boat house’s maintenance was turned over to the Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative in 2017, at which point it became an educational asset for the community. It now features displays on local and coast guard history, as well as tanks with aquatic creatures from Tillamook Bay.

The boathouse is open to the public from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Tillamook County Quilt Trail

The Tillamook County Quilt Trail (TCQT ) began in 2009, an endeavor that created a tie between our coastal history and local textile artists. The trail, the first of its kind on the West Coast, is listed in the book “Barn Quilts and the American Quilt trail,” by Suzi Parron and Donna Sue Groves. The blocks are on barns, businesses and private residences. They number over 100 stretching from Manzanita to Pacific City.

Tillamook

In its early years, the town of Tillamook, the first community to be settled in the county, bore the unofficial names Lincoln and Hoquarton, a native word meaning “the landing.” Its name was eventually changed to Tillamook, another native word meaning “the many peoples of the Nehelim.” William Clark of explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in 1806 of the Killamox Indians, but according to research by the Clatsop-Nehalem Confederated Tribes, the ‘K’ was not used in the name of the tribe. Local folklore used Land of Many Waters as the meaning of Tillamook. Though it is a fact that Tillamook is a land of many waters, it is not the true meaning of the name Tillamook.

Pacific City

When Thomas Stillwell laid out his town of “Lincoln” in 1861, there were already other settled towns in Tillamook County – Bay City, Garibaldi, and Nehalem. When the post office was established in 1866 the name was changed to avoid confusion with Lincoln City, which already existed further south. Tillamook became the county seat in 1873. In 1893, a great portion of the city, located on 1st Street at the

time, burned to the ground.

Today, motels, restaurants, food carts, family attractions, service shops and specialty shops line U.S. Highway 101 north of the city. The town’s center features eateries, three brew pubs, flower and gift shops, beauty salons, a historic movie theater and food court, called Flavors on First. In the summer months, people can stock up on local produce at the Tillamook Farmers Market each Saturday.

At the north end of town, on the north side of Conde McCullough’s famous Wilson River bridge, is the Tillamook County Creamery Association cheese factory, the biggest tourist attraction in Oregon, drawing over 1.5 million visitors each year from around the world.

All events at the fair are free once you pay the nominal fee to enter the grounds. Halloween is very special time in Tillamook for the little ones, because the entire business community partakes in handing out goodies to all the little ghouls and goblins. In December, the City of Tillamook along with the Chamber of Commerce hosts the Holiday Light Parade with a visit from Santa and the annual Tree Lighting.

Tillamook Air Museum

In an attempt to protect the West Coast from enemy attack during WWII, Naval Air Station Tillamook was built with two massive, wooden, 1,000 foot long hangars, each using enough wood to build 279 threebedroom homes. Designed to house blimps that would be used for hunting Japanese submarines, the first hangar, Hangar B, was started in November of 1942 and completed in a remarkable nine months. The second hangar, Hangar A, was completed in an astounding 27 working days! Sadly, Hangar A was destroyed by fire in 1992. With the ability to fly low and slow, and with large Plexiglas windows, the enormous blimps were ideal platforms to spot enemy craft. After the war ended in 1945, the air station

closure followed in 1948.

In 1989, the museum’s Hangar B was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world. In 1994, Hangar B was chosen for the site of the new Tillamook Air Museum, dedicated to preserving and protecting aviation heritage and wartime history. It is just four miles south of Tillamook. With over 25 aircraft, vintage vehicles, interactive exhibits, and an Exhibit Hall with rare wartime and aviation artifacts, the Tillamook Air Museum provides a step back in time. There are special events, rotating exhibits and a large gift shop.

By Chelsea Yarnell

When traveling in Tillamook County, bring your dog along! From Manzanita to Neskowin and everywhere in-between there are dog friendly activities along the way.

Manzanita is known as the most dog-friendly town in the County. In fact, every September Muttzanita, an annual dog festival, is held in the beautiful beach town to show their love for fourlegged friends. Walking up and down Laneda Avenue, visitors and their leashed companions will be greeted by a local, specialty pet store; dog water bowls in front of storefronts; waste stations; a dog drinking fountain at the Manzanita Visitors Center; and several dog-friendly restaurants with patio seating.

Dog needs to go for a walk? You can take them for more than a stroll around the block. Tillamook County has a plethora of hiking trails that will get you and your best pal out in nature. Make sure to follow trail etiquette and pick up after yourself.

Pacific City, Netarts & Oceanside

Pacific City

Located 23 miles southwest of Tillamook and 30 miles north of Lincoln City, Pacific City is tucked beside Cape Kiwanda , the southernmost of Three Capes Scenic Drive , an off-the-beatenpath byway that includes Cape Lookout and Cape Meares. Sitting one-half mile off-shore, 327-foot Haystack Rock provides a dramatic focal point against the surf and rugged sandstone cliffs of Cape Kiwanda. It is one of the largest “sea stacks” in the world.

Unincorporated with an estimated 1,767 residents, the community includes second homeowners and a booming tourism industry. There are good eateries, pubs and lodging options, galleries and shops to explore and special events throughout the year to enjoy. Access to outdoor adventure is provided by charter fishing companies, horseback riding guides and kayak rental services. Pacific City is a self-contained community providing the services needed for a comfortable visit or a laid-back coastal lifestyle. Basics include a small airport, gas station, food markets and bakeries, restaurants, a worldrenowned brewery, a post office, library and churches, RV parks, fitness and spa services, medical providers and dental care.

Fishing has been a mainstay of Pacific City’s economy since its inception. The Dory Fleet, some 200 flat-bottomed boats that launch directly into the surf, has been the basis of commercial fishing in the area. The Annual Dory Days Weekend festival held in July is recognized by the Oregon Heritage Commission as an Oregon Heritage Tradition.

Pacific City is home to Bob Straub State Park and boat launching sites. Nearby is the U.S. Forest Service’s Sand Lake Recreation Area , a popular destination for off-roading. The new Sitka Sedge State Natural Area provides hiking opportunities and access to coastal estuary habitat. South of Pacific City is a large portion of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge , a favorite with birders and hikers.

Netarts

Home to 778 residents, unincorporated Netarts is six miles west of Tillamook on Highway 131. Beautiful Netarts Bay is famous for its oysters. Protected from the

Pacific Ocean by the Netarts spit, the bay, with its boat landing, is a popular fishing, clamming, crabbing, and scuba diving site. There are bayfront lodgings, RV Parks, dining and brew pubs, real estate offices, a few stores and groceries.

Oceanside

Oceanside is nine miles from Tillamook and three miles north of Netarts on Highway 131. Unincorporated, the community is home to roughly 546 people. Oceanside’s picturesque oceanfront includes views of Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge located offshore west of Maxwell Point. This quiet hideaway is peppered with homes, vacation rentals and bed and breakfasts lining the hillside behind the tiny downtown core. The business district is comprised of a post office, small community center popular for weddings, dining establishments (one overlooking the ocean) and lodgings. There is a fire station in town, but the closest store is in Netarts.

Oceanside State Recreation Area provides public parking, beach access and restrooms. It draws agate hunters in the winter when the sand is stripped away by ocean currents. In summer, the park is a busy destination for beach activities. Located roughly two miles north of Oceanside, Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint sits on a headland 200-feet above the ocean. It features circa 1890s Cape Meares Lighthouse with free tours and gift shop open May-September. In this area of old-growth spruce, the largest Sitka spruce tree in the state of Oregon

stands. There are three miles of walking trails and wildlife to be seen. Look for the famous “Octopus Tree” along the way.

beaver, Hebo, Cloverdale & neskowin

All of the communities in south Tillamook County are unincorporated. Most started as market centers for local farmers or fishermen; some later developed lumber mills. A couple were founded as— and still are—resort communities.

Beaver

Located 17 miles south of Tillamook, Beaver is a community of 206 residents with a business district comprised of a gas and food mart and a small grocery and gun store. Named after Oregon’s official animal, the American beaver, the community had a post office (est. 1889), several lumber mills and a cheese factory in its heyday.

Three miles north of town is an eclectic little store with espresso and food, regional wine and craft beer, groceries, boutique and seasonal greenhouse. You may want to carve out some time to visit Munson Creek Falls State Natural Site, 10 miles north of town. From the parking lot, it is a quarter mile hike to see the tallest waterfall in the

Oregon Coast Range at 320-feet. In Beaver, Highway 101 connects with Blaine Road, which becomes the Upper Nestucca River Road, a National Forest Scenic Back Roads Byway.

Hebo

At the intersection of Oregon Route 22 and US 101 is downtown Hebo, with roughly 182 residents. Another old logging town, it once had a dance hall and its own newspaper. Now you’ll find a post office (est. 1882), coffee cart and two small stores with deli food. One has considerable sporting goods to stock up on. A nice attraction operated by Siuslaw National Forest is Hebo Lake Campground and Hebo Lake Day Use area. Just ¼ mile along Route 22 from Hebo, connect to Forest Service Road 14 and travel 4.5 miles to this destination for fishing, swimming, hiking trails and an historic 1937 picnic shelter and community kitchen built by the Civil Conservation Corps that can be rented for special occasions.

C lov erdale

Two miles south of Hebo, Highway 101 cuts though the small downtown business district of Cloverdale, with a population of 267 residents. Cloverdale was founded by Charles Ray at this site around 1884. He established a store, hotel, bank, cheese factory and post office (est. 1899). The community lies in a pastoral setting dominated by the spire of the old and picturesque St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Cloverdale has an antique mall to

explore along with other stores including a cheese tasting room, gallery and a farm supply store. There is a convenience store, banking and dining. Cloverdale honors its rural heritage and dairy industry each year the first Saturday in July with the Clover’s Day Celebration. There is a pancake breakfast, parade, classic auto show and live music, along with food and craft vendors.

Neskowin

Just 13 miles north of Lincoln City, the coastal village of Neskowin was founded in 1910. In the old residential area of beach cottages, most streets are one lane wide and not recommended for large vehicles. With a year-round population of 177, Neskowin is the southernmost community in Tillamook County. A variety of lodgings are available. Picturesque Proposal Rock stands in the surf and provides a popular backdrop for weddings. Neskowin is a relaxing hide-away with pleasant luxuries available like wonderful food and wine. Special events dot the calendar throughout the summer. From May through September, Neskowin Farmers Market provides a beautiful array of local foods and art to enjoy.

Outdoor activities include horseback riding, golfing, canoeing, kayaking and hiking. Encompassing the area between the mouth of the Nestucca River on the south end and Cascade Head to the north there are about three miles of ocean beach to enjoy. Neskowin Beach State Recreation Area allows access to Cascade Head and four trails to explore.
