Oregon road trip help please

Hi there, I'm from the Seattle board and trying to plan a road trip mid-October, as we drive back up from San Francisco.We have a week to get from SF to Seattle. After reviewing TripAdvisor and other sources, so far I have this itinerary:

day1 Depart SF, drive along PCH to Mendocino, CA?

day 2 Overnight in Eureka, CA

day 3 Overnight around Port Orford, OR area?

day 4 Overnight in Yachats, OR

day 5 Overnight in Seaside, OR?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions for good places to see or stay along the coast (scenic areas or especially cute or artsy towns are preferred).

Thanks!?image

Re: Oregon road trip help please

  • Yachats is a nice little place--not too busy/touristy.  I would recommend Cannon Beach instead of Seaside.  There are LOTS of great places to stay in Cannon Beach--we love the Ocean Lodge ($$$), or the Hallmark Inn (more affordable).

    Seaside is neither cute nor artsy--there's a definite carnival-ish, cheap tourist-trap feel to it.

  • Thank you for the advice. I was just reading on the Travel board the same thing about Seaside so I've changed it to Cannon Beach. I've been there before so was thinking of going somewhere new, but my husband hasn't been there so we'll go there instead.
  • My whole family is from Port Orford and I can tell you there is NOTHING there.  No restaurants, and there's one hotel (the Cliffside or something like that), that is barely decent.  I would strongly suggest staying in Bandon(20 minute drive north) or Coos Bay (another 30 minutes up the freeway from Bandon).

    Someone mentioned a hotel a while back that had a funny name, in Gold Beach or Bandon, it's called the Puk Puk Lodge or something...that would be a nice place to stay!  Hopefully they can find this post and give you the name!

    Also, Seaside sucks.  cannon Beach is much nicer, I love the SurfSand hotel, it's gorgeous.  If you feel the need, drive in to Seaside for the day.  It's a carnival-Jersey tpe atmosphere.

     Good luck and have fun!
