Beacons & Beauty: Oregon’s Coastal Adventure
May 13-19,2026
OregonWest Excursions invites you to experience an immersive journey along one of America’s most spectacular and storied coastlines. Designed with comfort and discovery in mind, this thoughtfully paced small-group tour showcases the very best of Oregon’s coastal scenery, maritime heritage, and charming seaside communities from the Columbia River to the southern coast.
Your adventure begins with a scenic river cruise into historic Astoria, where the mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. From here, travel south along dramatic ocean vistas, quiet fishing towns, and windswept headlands, discovering iconic lighthouses that once guided mariners safely home. Highlights include beloved landmarks such as Yaquina Head, Heceta Head, Cape Blanco, and the Umpqua River Lighthouse—each offering its own unique story and breathtaking views.
Along the way, enjoy engaging museums, nostalgic coastal rail travel, whale-watching viewpoints, festive local celebrations, and time to stroll picturesque towns like Cannon Beach, Depoe Bay, Newport, Florence, and Bandon. Thoughtfully chosen accommodations place you close to the ocean, while included meals feature local favorites that reflect the flavors of the coast.
True to the OregonWest philosophy, this journey is carefully balanced—unhurried yet fulfilling, educational yet relaxing. With an experienced Tour Director handling the details, you’re free to take in the scenery, enjoy great company, and experience the rugged beauty, gentle rhythms, and welcoming spirit that make the Oregon Coast truly unforgettable.
