The name Yachats (pronounced YAH-hots) is derived from the Chinook Indian word, Yahuts, meaning dark water at the foot of the mountain. Nestled between the lush forested mountains of the Central Oregon Coast Range and the lapping waves of the Pacific surf, this charming village opens a window to the environment. Yachats offers visitors a peaceful retreat from the hustle of city life and a friendly alternative to the impersonal quality of a large coastal community.

This area is great for agate and fossil hunting, birding, kite flying, hiking and strolling, fishing, clamming or picnicking. Its basalt headlands meet some of the most dramatic surf action in the world, attracting photographers and storm watchers, especially during the spectacular winter storms that arrive in December, January, and February.

In the town of Yachats, visit the historic Little Log Church Museum. It was built in 1930 and became a museum in 1970. Other nearby areas you can explore include Cape Perpetua Scenic Area just south of town, and the Heceta Head Lighthouse (14 miles south). Waiting for you to enjoy spectacular sunsets is the historic 804 Trail. Most of the trail is wheelchair accessible starting at Smelt Sands State Wayside and winds north ¾ mile where it meets a seven mile stretch of sandy beach.

The neighboring towns of Waldport, Seal Rock, and South Beach also offer more opportunities for beach access, shopping, restaurants, and art galleries to enjoy.
