Day Two – Thursday, July 11: Oregon Coast Scenic Railway
This morning we will head to a longtime breakfast classic in Pacific City, The Greatful Bread. We will journey up the Three Capes Scenic Loop to a quick stop on Netarts Bay at the Jacobsen Salt Company to see locally produced sea salt. Lunch will follow at the hidden gem, Bear Creek Artichokes. The main attraction will follow, a scenic roundtrip train journey from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach with a layover to explore. Before returning to Pacific City, we will make a quick stop at the Blue Heron Creamery and then dinner. This evening, enjoying the beach in summer should be our top priority!
Day Three – Friday, July 12: Sand Sculptures
After another fantastic breakfast, we will head to Long Beach, Washington to see the annual Sand Sculpture Festival, Sandsations. We will stroll along the shore and view all of the magical creations, stopping for lunch, and maybe getting some inspiration to get our own hands dirty. A visit to the Cranberry Museum will be our final stop before heading into Astoria to check into the Riverwalk Inn. There will be time to rinse off before dinner in Astoria.
Day Four – Saturday, July 13: Astoria and Camp 18
The morning of our final day will be at your leisure; breakfast and the hotel and the riverfront await! We will depart Astoria after mid-day and look forward to a Oregon Coast Trip classic for a late lunch (which we have decided to call ‘Linner’) at Camp 18. Heading back into the Willamette Valley, we can all enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and wonderful company of this trip.
