The Oregon North Coast is the perfect day trip destination or weekend getaway location for the residents of the Greater Portland Area. The beach is only about 1 hour and 30 minutes away and there is activities for everyone regardless of the kinds of things you enjoy to do.

Going to the Oregon north coast towns of Tillamook, Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Canon Beach, Seaside, Astoria, Manzanita, and many other great spots along the North Coast are excellent destinations for a weekend trip from Portland, Or. Travel west on Highway 26 and either stay on HWY 26 all the way to the Oregon Coast Highway that runs north and south or take the exit for HWY 6 near Banks, Oregon and go along the Wilson river to Tillamook, Or. Plan a trip to visit the Oregon Coast to go for walks on long beaches,agate and shell searching, shop at the antique and boutique shops, or go fishing and crabbing in the rivers, bay, and Pacific ocean or just spend a day looking at various sites the Oregon beaches and towns along the coast have all kinds of thing to enjoy.

If you are staying in or travelling through Rockaway Beach, Oregon than make sure and check out R&R Espresso if you are in need of a hot cup of coffee or a special Mocha, Latte, or whatever drink you like to enjoy.  The coffee’s go up to large 24 ounce drink that is comprised of 4 shots of Espresso.  This drive through location also has several delicious scones and other breakfast items and treats.  Stop and get a cup of coffee and a muffin and kids size hot chocolate on a cold day.

If you like to try new things get a 3 berry scone with white chocolate, it is an amazing fruity and moist scone that is just amazing.  Take out or park your car and enjoy the fresh coast air.  Located just a few streets North of the main part of town this pick up coffee spot is worth the walk or short drive.
