Tillamook Vacation Rentals by Meredith Lodging
Driving to the Oregon Coast via Oregon Highway 6 will take you up the coastal range along a winding, old-growth tree-lined road that descends into rolling hills and miles of green farmland, just as you arrive in Tillamook, Oregon. Tillamook is a beloved Coastal town known for decades for its agriculture industry (specifically the dairy industry!), beautiful farmlands, and charming main street area. Today, Tillamook is also a popular tourist destination, built primarily around endless outdoor hiking, hunting, and fishing opportunities, the Cape Meares Light House, and the world-class Tillamook creamery, which draws more than 1.3 million visitors each year. This museum honoring award-winning dairy products instructs children about the dairy industry (and offers delicious highlights like squeaky cheese and ice cream!), and importantly, pays respect to the many tribes, including the Grande Ronde and Siletz communities, who call the north Oregon Coastal region their ancestral territory.
Building on this powerful history, Tillamook has become booth a treasured destination and a jumping off point for all the beauty of the Oregon coast. Offering soothing views of rolling hills and farmlands, a famous annual County Fair, nearby crabbing, fishing, hiking activities as well delicious local dining options, Tillamook truly has something for everyone. This charming, ocean-adjacent, town is also a gateway to North Coast cities such as Oceanside, Netarts, Cape Meares, Rockaway, Nehalem, and Manzanita. A stay in any of these North Coast towns will have you well-situated to enjoy all the outdoor recreation, tasty local treats to eat and drink, and cultural activities beach towns like Tillamook have to offer.
