Welcome to Our Coast
This is a place rich in history, adventure, art, culinary delights, and natural wonders.
Discover Our Coast tells its story through the arts and entertainment weekly Coast Weekend, the annual Our Coast Magazine, and other special sections issued throughout the year.
We profile the emerging artists, chefs, naturalists, musicians, authors, and many others who make this place special, and we invite you, as we do, to discover its treasures.
Explore, dine, stay
Hike, surf, kayak, mountain bike — or just sit and watch the Columbia River ships drift by.
Gaze up in wonder at an old-growth cedar forest on Long Island in the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, accessible only by boat, or make your way up the 164 steps of the Astoria Column on Coxcomb Hill.
Explore the rich history of the Columbia-Pacific in the region’s many museums, follow in the footsteps of the Lewis and Clark expedition over Tillamook Head at Ecola State Park or experience one of the coast’s many annual festivals and events, like the Long Beach Razor Clam Festival in April or the Stormy Weather Arts Festival in November.
While you do, sample local cuisine, like wild mushrooms in the fall, spring-run Columbia River Chinook salmon, or fresh Willapa Bay oysters.
Choose from accommodations that range from a camping experience listed among Time Magazine’s 100 World’s Greatest Places to world-class resorts, a vintage Airstream hub, quiet historic cabins, Victorian bed and breakfasts, and some of the Northwest’s oldest hotels.
Something for everyone
In Coast Weekend’s stories, columns, recipes, and reviews, discover more through the eyes of local voices and stay up-to-date with timely news about arts and culture on the coast.
You’ll find there truly is something for everyone in this rugged corner of the Pacific Northwest — Our Coast includes popular oceanfront destinations like Long Beach, Astoria, Seaside, Cannon Beach and Manzanita — from an abundance of parks and trails to fine restaurants, a craft brewing scene, enchanting lighthouses, golf courses, antique shops and much more.
All of this is just a few hours away from major cities like Portland and Seattle and Oregon’s Willamette Valley. And a drive along U.S. Highway 101, the scenic and timeless Oregon Coast Highway, never disappoints.
So, join us and Discover Our Coast.
