Waldport is one of those special places. Located
about three hours by car south of Portland, this town of 1700 offers everything
you need to escape the rush and congestion of city living. The relative
obscurity of Waldport is part of its charm. A quiet city on the beautiful
Oregon Coast, offering miles of unspoiled beaches. Here is salmon, trout, and
surf fishing at its best. There is also a nine-hole golf course located in the
hills near town. The moderate year-round temperatures rarely dip below
freezing. Summer days are in the 70s and the yearly average is 51 degrees.
Annual rainfall is about 61 inches making Waldport a perfect place for
relaxation.
The beaches in the summer, fall, winter, and spring
is host to beachcombers, joggers, kite flyers, picnickers, horseback riders,
and many other recreational users. Once known as a beachcombers paradise, the
beaches along the coast here are simply some of the cleanest, nicest, and most
beautiful in America. While enjoying them, feel free to comb for driftwood,
glass floats, rocks, and shells. Also help preserve the beaches by removing
thrash and never harming or disturbing wildlife. Although some creatures like
starfish seem abundant, their numbers are fading and we must preserve the ones
that are left. |
