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.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

One of the coolest and most photographed lighthouses in Oregon is the Yaquina Head Lighthouse which is part of the Yaguina Head Natural Area in Newport. It is Oregon's tallest lighthouse.

Built in 1872, that, and the surrounding area is under the control of the Bureau of Land Management. It is a first-class natural area for all to enjoy. 

The area includes an interpretive center and gift shop. There are many tidepools nearby to study and learn about marine life.

All photos here were taken as the sun was setting. The first pic is the lighthouse itself, of course.

The second, is the memorial at the base of the lighthouse...dedicated to fisherman lost at sea in the Northwest. The third photo is looking from the lighthouse toward Newport. And, finally a glimpse of a setting sun.

Yachats Oregon

If you ever visit the town of Yachats on the Oregon Coast a must place to visit is the "Little Log Church By The Sea". 

It looks small from the outside but that is a little deceiving...once you get inside there is more room than you think. Besides the main part of the church there is a museum which features historic information about the area. 

There are no longer any religious services held there. Although, they have musical and other functions from time to time. 

There is more to Yachats than just the "Little Log Church". There are some very nice gift stores nearby. And, some good eating places.
