Peak Northwest

Why the tiny town of Neskowin is an Oregon coast gem


Listen Later

If cute cottages and ghostly tree stumps are your idea of a good time, you’ll want to plan your next Oregon coast vacation for Neskowin.

The tiny town on the north Oregon coast is known for its quiet, residential feel, with no small shops and few restaurants to speak of. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we get into everything you need to know to visit.

The major attractions in Neskowin are both wild: the Ghost Forest, which is a collection of ancient, submerged stumps that emerge at low tide, and Proposal Rock, a dominating sea stack that’s covered with a small forest. Beyond the beach, there isn’t much to Neskowin – and for many slower-paced coastal travelers, that’s absolutely perfect.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Booking a place to stay in Neskowin can be a little complicated.
  • We have the lowdown on the two places to eat in town.
  • How to see the Ghost Forest at low tide.
  • What else can you do around the area?
