If you want to explore Pacific Coasts of Oregon, base your travels in Tillamook. Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy the dozens of maintained trails in the mountains.  Sea kayaking is a notable recreation here, with guides available if you want to learn. Take the trails to Cape Meares Lighthouse, which offers gorgeous costal views and is a good spot to observe sea lions and sea birds. Visit the Munson Creek State Natural Area to view ancient Cedars and Spruces that tower over 250’ tall. This area also has the largest waterfall on the coast; it falls over 300’.
