Oregon Coast vacation

Every time I visit the coast I think about how I should have enough at this point in my life to have a place there. It's about as cool as it gets in terms of places to be.
 
Thanks for the tips and suggestions.
We are really looking forward to the trip. The biggest problem we have had is trying to find a place to stay around Crater Lake. We've looked and anything decent is already booked up.
 
I was just in the Northern coast last month, beautiful in the spring, especially compared to frozen AK 😂

Bring a tent and camp out at Crater!

Also not mentioned was the Lewis and Clark national historic park just out of Astoria.

Also cannon beach proper is crowded no parking but lots more parking in Tolovana, and can walk up

Also Hug point had its parking lot closed but everyone still parks on the Hwy and walks down

Did you happen to check if there were any cabins at Union Creek? It’s close by but may be booked already.
 
Diamond lake, close by Crater Lake has a campground and Resort. Both offer cabins with various amenities. Rustic to fancy. Worth checking. Can have bugs, bring repellant.
 
The sportsman’s pub in pacific city has awesome fish and chips, if you can swing it go for a dory fishing trip. Kiwanda head is cool. Go take a guided dune ride at spinreel or rent a utv and go. Fishing at the mouth of the rogue should be kicking off then as well.

That's a nice haul. Our season closes Labor Day and usually re-opens in early October sometime. Last couple years have been sketchy. Lots of softs that we have to throw back.

Back on track, the Newport area is nice. Yaquina Bay is delightful. The channel between the bay and ocean is loaded with crab.
 
I am sure you already know this but all water level access is closed including the main trail at Crater Lake. I dont think there are any other ways to legally hike down to the water.

Places to day - If you are open to driving for around an hour to the lake there a lot of options.
 
Lots of good breweries in Astoria. And check out the Astoria Column on the hill. Pretty awesome views.

Yes, my wife read where the trail down to the water is going to be closed down for a couple years for repairs. She was pretty bummed about it but has a couple other hikes she wants to do there.
