The Beach
Whichever vacation rental home you decide on you’ll only be a few steps away from a stunning stretch of Central Oregon Coast – seven miles of pristine sandy beach.

Crabbing
Spend the day crabbing Oregon coast. Siletz Bay is a great place to catch fresh Northwest Dungeness Crab or take a guided fishing trip out of Lincoln City, Depoe Bay or Newport.

Golfing
Lincoln City’s location provides the perfect Mecca for golfers. These courses are interesting, requiring strategy as well as skill, they will give the average player a fair chance and at the same time require the utmost from the expert who tries for sub-par rounds. Lincoln City’s courses have preserved the natural beauty of the land and the coast is particularly fortunate in regard to the climate for golfers.

The two “18 hole” courses in town compliment each other well. Lakeside’s 5000 yard course is off Highway 101 on the north end of town. Salishan, on Highway 101 at the south end of town, exemplifies golf’s “two games in one” – one to reach the green and the other to figure the ever-challenging contours after reaching them. Three additional ‘9 hole’ courses are within a half hour drive; Neskowin and Hawk Creek to the north and Agate Beach to the south in Newport.
