Pacific City, Oregon
Oregon-coast visitors flock to Cannon Beach to photograph the famed Haystack Rock at sunset. But if you want a shot without the crowds, head an hour and a half south to another towering sea stack in Pacific City. Since this sleepy fishing village, with its unspoiled beaches, is four miles off coastal Highway 101, fewer road trippers have discovered it. There aren’t any stoplights, strip malls, or chain restaurants here. Stay at the oceanfront Inn at Cape Kiwanda and you can walk to the Pelican, an award-winning brewery that serves meals right on the beach. Galleries and coffee shops are within walking distance of The Craftsman B&B, a restored 1921 home.If You Go: Rent a surfboard at Cape Kiwanda or go deep-sea fishing on a chartered dory boat. Pacific City is home to the West Coast’s last operating dory fleet, 100 flat-bottom fishing boats that haul in crab, rockfish, salmon, halibut, and tuna. (Photo: mathowie/flickr)
