May 2026 Newsletter – Early Summer Magic on the Oregon Coast & Central Oregon

Spring Break Energy, Wildlife Encounters & Peak Outdoor Season

May is when Oregon starts to feel like summer without the peak-season rush. Along the coast, longer days, active wildlife, and vibrant tidepools make every outing more rewarding.

In Central Oregon, trails reopen, rivers pick up, and sunny days pair perfectly with cool evenings. With great weather and better availability, May is one of the easiest and most enjoyable times to explore both regions.
