If you've never been to Yachats and you prefer a quiet, and less crowded beach rental getaway...   consider planning your next family vacation or romantic retreat in this quaint little village. The Yachats area offers plenty of things to do... discover parks, uncrowded beaches, tide pools and trails for all ages. They have an ongoing list of events, along with the Sunday Farmer's Market, family friendly restaurants with live music and great food too!

Parks, Tide Pooling &  Hiking ~ There is a community park along with three ocean side state parks in Yachats, additional parks are   just south and north of town. For an easy hike, don't miss the 804 oceanfront trail that offers beautiful views of the rocky coastline.

The Cape Perpetua Visitors Center offers guided walks to old-growth forest and tide pools, natural and cultural history exhibits, an interactive children's corner, and a theater with nature films. The visitors center offers wheelchair accessible areas too... including the Cape Overlook half mile loop trail to the West Shelter, and the viewpoint overlooking Devil's Churn.

Alsea Bay Bridge Interpretive Center - Located in nearby Waldport at the base of the bridge, a great spot for learning about Oregon bridges. There is a model wooden toy bridge here to occupy small children while adults and older kids enjoy the historic photographs and other exhibits. A park interpreter leads an Alsea Bay Bridge Walk on Fridays-Tuesdays at 2 p.m. (during peak visitor season).
