Be Kind to the Coast

The Oregon Coast is a remarkable place to behold. Enjoy this beautiful place while being mindful of responsible travel practices.

Coast Like A Local

The coast is one of Oregon’s most beloved destinations. If we all work together to take care of these irreplaceable natural spaces, our coastline will remain pristine for generations of wildlife and humans to come.

While at the beach, pack out what you pack in, and bring along a bag to pick up any possible trash you find along the way. Send Explore Lincoln City a photo of your debris bag and be eligible to win a handmade glass float as part of the Trash for Treasures program.

Be mindful of sensitive habitat — like tide pools, sea stacks, riparian (waterfront) areas, and swaths of beach grass — to protect local flora and fauna.

Remove natural beach debris sparingly, if at all, and remember that fishing, crabbing, and clam digging require a license and adherence to seasonal regulations.
