Parks & Nature
Not as popular at Haystack Rock but at low tide just as cool. Waterfall that empties onto the beach, sea caves and tidepools. Not to mention miles of beach to stroll.

Iconic views as noted by Lewis & Clark, great for hikes or just photo opportunities. The hike from Ecola to Indian Beach and up to the top of Tillamook head is a must do for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of our home town.

About 10 miles south of town but so worth it. Drive is stunning and the trails around Oswald West (aka Short Sands) are great. Don't miss the Cape Falcon hike or just the easy stroll to this secluded beach. Popular surf break great for kids.

Casual fine dining in the dinning room side, great casual bar side with small plates or full service dinner. Chef Jack is the owner of this outstanding small bistro. Live music often. Try the Vietnamese carmel chicken!

Not really a restaurant, although they do serve lunch. But at dinner Chef Bob has about 20 seats per night for a dinner cooking school/show. He prepares, you eat and drink and learn all about what he is preparing. Reservations are a must as this is a very popular but small and quaint experience.

The driftwood has a bar side with large outdoor patio and gas fireplace. It also has a dinning room side with full menu (also available in bar). But it is the locals nightlife scene, open the latest of anyplace in town by far (most close around 10pm) and great drinks and fun times. 1 block from Whispering Dunes...which is helpful after a couple Driftwood drinks.
