Oceanside feels like a dramatic secret. The tunnel to the beach, the hillside homes with ocean views, the rugged coastline, there is a sense of discovery every time you visit. It is intimate, beautiful, and quietly extraordinary.
Oceanside is a tiny, dramatic coastal village perched on the cliffs of the Three Capes Loop.
This is one of the most photogenic spots on the Oregon Coast with Maxwell Mountain rising behind the town and offshore sea stacks dotting the coastline.
The beach here is accessed through a tunnel under the highway, making it feel like a secret revealed.
The famous Oceanside Beach has tide pools, sea caves, and dramatic rock formations.
The view from the beach looking back at the village climbing the hillside is postcard-perfect.
Oceanside has a handful of businesses including Roseanna's Cafe, a local institution for clam chowder and bay views, and the Oceanside Beach Resort.
About 95 minutes to Portland, 10 minutes to Tillamook, 15 minutes to Netarts. Located on the Three Capes Scenic Drive, just west of Tillamook.

September and October | Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint and Lighthouse
The shortest lighthouse in Oregon sits on a headland made for fall: big swells, migrating whales offshore, and the old-growth grove around the parking area turning gold. Bring a jacket and a camera.
September and October | Oceanside village and beach
With summer crowds gone, the village's famous tunnel to the beach is a quiet delight, and the benches along the shore are empty at sunset. Fall is Oceanside's most peaceful season.
October 1 to 31 | Participating north coast restaurants and breweries
The month-long food trail celebration runs from Astoria to Neskowin, with seafood specials at restaurants up and down 101. Oceanside is a lovely base for a food tour of the season.
