This day trip is a tour along a section of rugged coastline along Oregon's northern coast. There will be one or two town stops, and multiple stops at headlands and beaches. The trip will include a short hike through oldgrowth Sitka spruce forest, beach time, tide pools (if tides allow), sea stacks, viewpoint stops, and a lunch stop in a charming coastal town. If group interest allows, stops with a more technological history focus may be made, such as the Tillamook Air Museum and/or Tillamook Cheese Factory.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for this day trip? Can kids join?

A: Yes! Kids are definitely welcome on the trip. It's a great way for families to enjoy the coast together. Just keep in mind that some of the hikes might be a bit challenging for younger ones, so I’d suggest bringing a carrier for toddlers. As long as they can walk, they'll have a blast at the tide pools and beaches!

Q: What should I wear for the hike and beach stops? Is it casual?

A: Definitely go for casual! Sturdy shoes are a must since the hike through the Sitka spruce can be uneven. Layers are a good idea too because it can get chilly near the coast, even in summer. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen if you plan to spend time on the beach!

Q: How does the weather affect the trip? Do they ever cancel due to rain?

A: Weather can definitely play a part! They will usually only cancel if it's severe, like heavy storms. Otherwise, light rain is totally manageable, and the coastal views can be stunning even in overcast weather! Just keep an eye on the forecast and come prepared with a rain jacket if needed.

Thinking about gifting the Northern Oregon Coast Day Trip! Anyone tried it?

I’m considering this for my parents’ anniversary. They love the outdoors and I think this scenic loop would be perfect for them! It mentions a hike through an old-growth forest and I hope they’re up for it. Plus, lunch in a coastal town sounds like such a treat. Any advice on what to expect?

Can anyone share their experience on the Three Capes trip?

I’m looking at booking this for a friend's birthday. She loves nature and the ocean! I just want to know how much time we actually get at the beach and if the hike is worth it. Also, what was the group size like?
