r/OregonCoast

After reading through the thread today, Depoe Bay seems like the place along the coast I want to visit. I LOVE whales and whale watching. I didn't see any specific hotel recommendations - does anyone have any? I'll be going with my friend (we're both 25) and we'll have a rental car. Ideally between $400-500 a night in early August.

I’m spending a month on the coast and am looking for your favorite beach items. I’ve been planning my trip for awhile which I’m why I’m down to the little inconsequential things (that I still love to plan). Specifically beach chairs, I have a blanket, what else do I need? I’ll have extra shoes/clothes, etc. Am I missing anything! Would love any suggestions!

I'm currently with Manzanita Beach Getaways Vacation Rentals and it's time for a change. They do a decent job at cleaning, but they're not very good at pricing or marketing. My house has lot of empty nights this July, which is unacceptable. And that's with prices that are lower than the competition I see on Airbnb. I somehow seem to earn less every year, despite the limited permits in Manzanita. I need to either sell the place (which I don't want to do) or find a better manager.

Who do you use? How are your earnings?

One by McKay's Market.

I’m planning a vacation to the Oregon coast and I want to take the opportunity to do some astrophotography over the ocean coast while I’m there, weather permitting. My question is, am I able to use any of the pullouts along 101, you know, the ones that are all labeled “no overnight parking” if my only goal is to set up a tripod and a camera for a little while? Or am I going to end up with a stack of tickets that make a CVS receipt look small?

I have a hotel booked near where I’m wanting to set up the camera but from what I’m reading, fog is common where I’ll be staying so I may have to drive ~10 miles to get clearer skies.

Thanks!

Hi all ! I’m going on a trip to the Oregon coast in July I know it’s not crab season but a friend wants to do a whole crab dinner where do you suggest we go we will be staying in Nehalem but be visiting cannon beach seaside and Astoria! Any and all recommendations welcome !

The wife and I are staying on the coast and walking around today we found about a few hundred bucks laying on the ground. We would like to return it to whomever it belongs to, if possible. DM me where about you lost it and the of $$$ and I’ll make arrangements with you to return it.

Hey everyone! I’d like to take my gf to see the show tonight. I really want to be able to back on to the beach with my truck make a cozy vibe in the bed and enjoy the show. We would be coming from Salem. Does the beach get packed either vehicles? Is there gridlock traffic? Anything you guys can let me know to help make this successful lol. Thanks in advance. Mostly concerned that the beach won’t have access or hoping locals can give me pointers on what time I NEED to arrive by

Question speaks for itself. Thanks in advance .

I live in the valley but I'll be out on the coast this weekend, I've heard both Newport and Lincoln City have great firework shows. I was wondering which one people like or any other tips for things to see this weekend.

so I’m staying in Newport Oregon for the 4th of july and extended, I’m 22 and so far have found it’s kinda difficult to make friends out here. lots of people are just friends of friends and stick to themselves, if anyone has suggestions then please lmk, but I’m definitely looking to have more friends out here. i was also hoping to maybe find a guy around my age, it’s been a hot sec since I dated and found myself ready again. so if anyone knows places I can meet people (that doesn’t involve drinking and going home with a stranger) please let me know.
