Yachats offers visitors a peaceful retreat from the hustle of city life and a friendly alternative to a large and busy coastal community. 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. 

This place is ideal for outdoor activities like searching for agates and fossils, bird watching, kite flying, walking, fishing, clam fishing, and picnicking. The cliffs near the shoreline showcase some of the best waves in the world, luring photographers and those who enjoy the stormy weather in the winter months of December, January, and February. There is also a covered bridge built in the past located northeast nine miles away on North Fork Road.

If you're in Yachats, you should check out the Little Log Church Museum, which dates back to 1930 and was converted into a museum in 1970. Nearby, the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and the Heceta Head Lighthouse (14 miles south) are other must-sees.

For a truly breathtaking experience, take a stroll along the historic 804 Trail. It's wheelchair accessible from Smelt Sands State Wayside to a 7-mile stretch of sandy beach, and offers up incredible sunsets.

Yachats is an idyllic escape from big city life, providing a more tranquil atmosphere than a bustling beach town. Its name, deriving from a Chinook word meaning "dark water at the foot of the mountain," is indicative of its picturesque location between the lush Coast Range mountains and the mighty Pacific Ocean.

Neighboring towns like Waldport, Seal Rock, and South Beach also offer plenty of beach access and amenities such as restaurants, shopping, whale watching, and art galleries.
