Peak Northwest

How to spend a weekend in Yachats

Listen Later

Of all the beach towns on the beautiful stretch of Pacific coastline in Oregon, Yachats might well be the most charming.

Located on the rocky shores of the central Oregon coast, Yachats features a small but bustling corridor of restaurants and small businesses, with forested trails, tide pools, beaches and towering sea cliffs found nearby.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Jamie recounts a recent trip to Yachats, where a spring rainstorm forced some last-minute adjustments and allowed for a fresh take on the coastal town.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Where to find the best fried fish in Yachats (and the best on the Oregon coast).
  • A tour of some of the small shops in town.
  • The Ya’Xaik Trail is a small, but fascinating hike.
  • Tide pooling on a rainy Easter Sunday.
  • The Yachats restaurant scene has a lot to offer.
