Tillamook
Tillamook is only 30 minutes North of Pacific City. Tillamook is known for the Tillamook Cheese Factory, a beacon for cheese lovers and adventurers alike. Tillamook is a town found within a fertile river valley on the edge of the ocean-adjacent Tillamook Bay. Rich natural resources and beautiful landscapes are abundant. Located amidst a tangle of rivers and farm fields, Tillamook is renowned for its agriculture that stewards and cultivates the region's natural beauty.
Lincoln City
30 minutes south of Pacific City is Lincoln City. The city is known by some as the "Kite Capital of the World". Lincoln City is also famous for Cascade Head, Drift Creek Falls, fresh seafood, outlet mall, whale watching, candy stores, and glass floats. Glass floats are known throughout Oregon's coast but not as popular as Lincoln City. Volunteers place more than 3,000 glass floats annually along Lincoln City’s 7.5 miles of beaches. Lucky beachcombers get to keep these small pieces of art, so keep a lookout as you walk the beach. In Lincoln City, there are many glass float studios where you can watch a demonstration or make your piece as a souvenir.
