Neskowin Oregon

Neskowin, Oregon is a bit north of Lincoln City and is like night and day in comparison. Lincoln City is more of an Oregon Coast tourist attraction and Neskowin is a laid back community.

Almost laid back to a fault!

For years our family had a cabin in Neskowin, built in the 1930's, fairly close to the beach...it has been sold since.


As a family, we still miss the cabin and it's roots. Mainly, it's the setting. There are very few beaches, communities like it on the entire coast.

If you are looking for a laid back vacation, a neat place to stay...this is it! There are no shopping malls, gas stations, huge grocery stores, Home Depots, Walmarts. Too, hopefully, your cell phone, TV and laptop go numb on you.

There is a cool gourmet market where a few bare necessities can be had and a cool cafe.

The name of the market is the "Neskowin Trading Company"...a deli, market and wine shop. This and the "Hawk Creek Cafe" are in the first photo here.

The Hawk Creek Cafe is a must place to eat...the building in the foreground...gourmet pizza and lot's of other delicious entrees.

If you like walking, Neskowin is a "Walker's Paradise". You can walk on the beach or through the residential area and never get tired of the walks...Hey, walk over to the "Hawk Creek Gallery" just across 101 and check out Michael Schlicting's water colors. Years ago we purchased two of his originals..what a great artist.

I took some random shots here and, I left out the famous "Proposal Rock" on purpose.

Oregon Coast Tourist Attractions

A must thing to do if you visit Oregon is to transport yourself to Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. It is easy to get to and there are wonderful accommodations to be had throughout the area.

Besides cool places to visit like Nye Beach, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Yaquina Lighthouse, there is the Historic Bayfront located on Yaquina Bay in Newport.

The Bayfront sort of reminds me of the classic New England coastal town. 

The first pic is of a seagull waiting for, maybe some crab to be thrown his way. The second and third photos are of some of the hundreds and hundreds of boats in the Bay. Yaquina Bay is home to the largest fishing fleet in Oregon.

The fourth photo is of stacked fishing nets and the fifth, a door to a restaurant located on one of the piers.

One of my favorite shots is of the Sea Lions, down below, perched on one of the mooring docks.

Stay tuned for some night and early morning shots of the Bayfront!
