Question

When should I book by travel by?

Answer

We recommend booking your accommodations as soon as you can. Gearhart is a small town and a frequent weekend destination for people from the Portland area. Visit the travel section for our recommendations on where to stay!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

In early September, Gearhart typically enjoys mild and pleasant weather, with daytime temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s. Evenings are definitely cooler, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater. The coastal breeze adds a refreshing touch and sometimes a little mist so layers can be key! We encourage you to check the forecast before packing your bags.
