This is a suggested route from Newport to Astoria with a little detour thru Pacific City and Netarts. This detour takes you to a great restaurant, a great tide pooling location and a lighthouse. I make several suggestions on attractions and restaurants along the way for you to pick and choose from.
This was one of my favorite restaurants!! Fresh clams, dungeness crab and salmon from right here!!
If you time this right, this is an easy access from a parking lot to tide pooling areas at low tide. You walk around the point, and exposed rocks are covered with sea creatures!
This is a nice little hike out to the light house. You cannot go in it, but the views are spectacular.
