VACATIONS
Waldport, Oregon is sandwiched between the Pacific and the Sisuslaw National Forest. Rarely recognized as the most stunning beach, this town has everything you need.
Waldport embraced its natural beauty and developed a thriving community. It developed along the banks of the Alsea River, culminating around the bay that flows into the Pacific.
Alsea Bay happens to be the town’s main attraction, which is teeming with ocean life and 400 species of birds. There are many rivers, bays, beaches, and forests to explore.
Get a lay of the land at the Historic Alesa Bay Bridge Interpretive Center, sunbathe on Waldport's sandy beaches, and enjoy local seafood at places like The Salty Dawg.
