Great tour even though it was downpouring the whole time. We still had lots of fun and learned some great stuff! Aaron was an amazing tour guide and very accommodating. Just be ready to hike in the rain if the weather decides against you lol.
With over 300 miles of public coastline, Oregon’s beaches are sure to amaze with their dramatic offshore rock formations and reborn beach towns. This tour will travel along one of the most picturesque driving routes in the country, US HWY 101. We will spend the day exploring breathtaking beaches and viewing stunning coastline vistas.
Departure Point
- We pick up at one of the corners of Director Park, located at the cross-streets of SW 9th Ave and SW Taylor St. The guide will aim to pull up in front of a restaurant called Pastini.

Stop At: Director Park815 SW Park Ave, Portland, OregonOur central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.Duration: 5 minutesStop At: Ecola State ParkCannon Beach, OregonAfter the morning drive along the Sunset Highway, Oregon's first automobile route through the Cascade Mountain Range, we'll meander through a lush Sitka spruce forest to Ecola State Park. We’ll momentarily leave the vehicle behind and explore this coastal oasis. If time allows, we may also travel back through the forest to Indian beach. This secluded pocket hides away from much of the summertime crowd and is a favorite spot for local beach combers.Duration: 40 minutesStop At: Haystack RockCannon Beach, OregonAfter leaving the Ecola State Park, we will be sure to visit Haystack Rock, a sea stack just off the shore of Cannon Beach made famous by its resemblance to its namesake. Claimed to be the third tallest “intertidal” structure in the world, it is a huge basalt rock that was formed by lava flows over 15 million years ago! Here we’ll walk along the sandy beach, watch beautiful birds circle the rock, and if we’re lucky and the tide is out, we’ll view many species of marine wildlife in their natural tide pool habitat.Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Cannon BeachCannon Beach, OregonThe town of Cannon Beach will be the backdrop of our lunch stop for the day. Guests will disperse for free time and are able to take their pick of several small-town eateries, each boasting their own eclectic menus.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Oregon Coast HighwayOregonFor the afternoon, we'll head south on the famous Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Highway 101) to explore more beautiful coastal shores.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Neahkahnie MountainOregonUpon Neahkahnie Overlook, we’ll stop to enjoy stunning views along the highest drive-able point along the Oregon coast!Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Oswald West State ParkCannon Beach, OregonWe'll journey to Oswald West State Park, aptly named after the Oregon Governor Oswald West.

Chuck, our tour leader and driver, entertained us with personal experiences as well as facts about forests, volcanoes, beautiful beaches, tsunamis and living in Oregon! Chuck was thoroughly delightful!

We did the Oregon Coast Tour on a Friday, and there were only four of us, which made it feel cozy and personal. The trip was wonderfully relaxing — we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the day. We even spotted some elks, which was such a delightful bonus!

I really enjoyed this experience! Meetup instructions were clear and we left on time. Our guide, Daniel, was friendly, knowledgeable about the area and gave us a lot of information about what we were seeing as we were driving. He took us to an extra beach stop and even made a detour when he saw an elk by the side of the road.
