Introduction

Travel along the rugged Pacific coastline on Oregon's Pacific Coast Highway. Pounding surf, endless beaches, mature forests and fish-filled lakes provide a variety of recreational activities, from hiking among the spray of ocean water to viewing sea lions and whales in their natural habitat. Bring a camera – the Byway is a haven for a multitude of birds, and numerous historic lighthouses dot the coastline.

The Pacific Coast Highway is home to a number of scenic and historic towns and sites. Astoria boasts historic charm and examples of Victorian architecture. Tillamook has some of the best cheese in the country. Seaside's famous promenade has been visited by tourists for decades. Get a dose of history and walk on the same pathways of the explorers and settlers who forged the area along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and the Oregon Trail.
