The Beach

Sunsets, surf and seven miles of soft, sandy beach are yours to explore in Lincoln City, where coastal adventure awaits.

You’re on the Oregon Coast, so of course, you want to explore the beach. Lucky for you, we’ve got over seven miles of it, more than any other Oregon coastal town. Our beach is officially yours since all beaches in Oregon are public. It’s easy to get on the sand with lots of public access points to choose from as well as access from our many lodging properties. And there’s plenty to keep you busy once your feet hit the sand – fly a kite, enjoy the warmth of a bonfire, discover tide pools or watch the sunset. Who knows, as you explore all our beach has to offer you may even discover one of our famous Finders Keepers glass floats!
