Oregon Coast Day Trip | Crave the Coast
Lighthouses, Lookouts & Local Flavor
A Curated Escape from Portland to the Pacific Ocean by Sip, Savor, Explore Oregon
Catch the best of the PNW on this guided day trip from the Portland area, showcasing one of the most scenic stretches of the North Oregon Coast.
The Tillamook Coast Loop — from Netarts to Pacific City — offers rugged beauty, local flavor, and immersive experiences, all just a short drive from Portland Metro. Perfect for those craving a well-planned escape, this route features stunning views, hidden coves, and charming stops along one of Oregon’s most beloved shoreline regions.
We’ll travel from the city through the Coast Range forest until we reach the sea. Once there, we’ll stop for photo ops and light walks/hikes. From lighthouses to sweeping headlands, this loop captures the wild beauty of Oregon’s edge. You’ll also enjoy handpicked stops that highlight the character and charm of this region — Dungeness crab, clam chowder or local fish & chips anyone?
October dates coincide with Crave the Coast — a month-long celebration of Tillamook Coast flavors. Local restaurants, markets, and food providers create special dishes and experiences featuring seasonal ingredients, from just-caught seafood and artisan cheeses to farm-fresh produce and handcrafted desserts. We’ll weave in a stop to enjoy the spirit (and tastes!) as part of our journey.
