House Or Rental
Airbnb or VRBO
Rent a beach house! Most places require a 3-4 day stay during LDW. We'd recommend looking in the towns of Gearhart (location of wedding) , Cannon Beach, Seaside or Arch Cape. https://www.airbnb.com/ https://www.vrbo.com/ https://www.homeaway.com/
Flight
Portland International Airport (PDX)
Please book flights into Portland (PDX). The coast is about a 1.5 hour drive from the airport via rental car. There is also a bus that drops off in Seaside (5 minutes from Gearhart) that runs twice a day.
Rental Car
Driving from WA?
Getting down to the coast from Seattle takes roughly 4 hours without traffic or 4.5-5.5 with traffic. We recommend taking the I-5 South Route to 101 South. It is the quickest way down and means you get to go over the Astoria bridge (worth it!).
