Oregon Coast Scenic Day Tour

Overview

On this day-long excursion you’ll explore the northern stretch of shore between Astoria and Cannon Beach as your guide leads you through an oceans-worth of American history, coastal culture, and pristine nature.

Start your day in the bustling seaport of Astoria, where the Columbia River feeds into the Pacific, and Lewis & Clark and John Jacob Astor concluded their epic expeditions. Wander the town’s docks, wind up the Astoria Column, and walk through Fort Clatsop, before continuing south along beaches and bluffs to Cannon Beach. A quintessential beach town, the savory smell of chowder houses meets the briny ocean air on Cannon Beach’s picturesque streets. After meandering through the town, you’ll take to the beach for an interpretative nature walk to Haystack Rock with your naturalist guide.

Complete your day by traversing through a maze of Sitka spruce in Ecola State Park. The forest opens to a secluded beach where you’ll cap off your tour with an amazing view of the crashing waves.

What To Expect

Astoria

Your day starts in the bustling seaport of Astoria, where the Columbia River feeds into the Pacific, and Lewis & Clark and John Jacob Astor concluded their epic expeditions. Wander the town’s docks, wind up the Astoria Column, and walk through Fort Clatsop, before continuing south along beaches and bluffs.

Cannon Beach

Walk the beach and get up close to the iconic 235 foot tall sea stack known as Haystack Rock! Search the tide pools for sea stars when the tide is low and look for puffins and their babies. Afterwards stroll through Downton Cannon Beach and grab some coffee and treats from a local cafe. You can also stop into an art gallery or shop around one of the boutiques.

Ecola State Park

Ecola State Park is known for its sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and lush forests. This is a great opportunity to look for wildlife like deer, elk, bald eagles and sea lions. We will walk to a viewpoint and take in the most stunning view of the coastline (this is a great photo op).
