Oregon Coast Travel Region
Neskowin, Oregon
Neskowin is situated on a strip of
Oregon Coast that is famous for its
small, intimate communities and pristine beaches. Sandwiched between
Pacific
City on the north and Lincoln City on the south, the small town of Neskowin
is located at the mouth of Neskowin Creek, overlooking the south end of
ecologically rich Nestucca Bay.
Nestucca Bay’s diverse mixture of grasslands, dense woodlands, tidal marsh,
mudflats and bogs provide the perfect habitat for a wide variety of birds –
and the perfect setting for bird watching. The Nestucca Wildlife Refuge,
situated on Nestucca Bay, is home to six sub-species of geese, including the
previously endangered Aleutian Cackling goose and the dusty Canada goose.
Fishing is popular at the Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site, in town.
Neskowin Creek and Hatch Creek merge near the park, which is a favorite
location for catch-and-release steelhead fishing.
A path leads from the recreation site down to the beach, near Neskowin’s
famous Proposal Rock. The large wooded mound was reportedly named around the
turn of the 20th century during one couple’s romantic stroll to the massive
hill. Trails weave to the top of the rock, which provides an excellent view
of surrounding tidelands.
Golf is also popular in Neskowin, which has two enjoyable 9-hole golf
courses in the center of town. Dazzling ocean coastline provides the
backdrop for these two courses, which are set among marshlands and rolling,
verdant pastures. Several other 18-hole courses are located north and south
of Neskowin.
