Drive 9
Oregon Coast Highway
Unspoiled in rugged beauty and unsurpassed in natural drama, the Oregon coast
reminds us that where land and water meet, scenic treasures often abound. This
drive is dotted with lookouts and lighthouses; coves and cliffs; sand dunes and
seaports.
Length: About 360 miles
When to go: Popular year-round, but best in summer (because of water activities) and
during fall (when less crowded)
Lodging: Reservations recommended during June, July, and August
Words to the wise: In peak seasons allow plenty of time, since traffic is heavy and the
road is narrow and winding
Nearby attractions: Tillamook County Creamery (Oregon's largest cheesemaking
plant), Tillamook Naval Air Museum, and Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, Til-
lamook; Columbia River Maritime Museum, Astoria; Latimer Quilt & Textile Center,
Latimer
