Summary of Oregon Coast Attractions
Oregon Coast Aquarium
The former home of Keiko the Killer Whale, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is a great way to spend an afternoon or a day. One of our favorite exhibits is the shark tank. We cannot recommend enough a visit to the aquarium. They even have a "hands on" area where the kids can pick up and touch starfish and other sea creatures. Click here to learn more. . .
Stellar Sea Lions at Sea Lion Caves
The Sea Lion Caves, located just north of Florence and home of the Stellar Sea Lion, are a must see. My family has been there several times, and we never get tired of watching the antics of these large mammals. For a great Oregon Coast attraction, this is a must see. Our kids love it and so will yours. Click here to learn more. . .
Horseback Riding
Unique to Oregon, there are horse stables and trails at the coast. Yes, you can ride horses on the coast, through the surf and over the dunes. Click here to learn more about horseback riding at the Oregon Coast.
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

From Florence to Coos Bay, the vast Oregon Dunes are an incredible playground - 4-wheeling, sandboarding, fishing, hiking, and camping. Be sure to take a tour aboard a famous Blue Buggie, or rent a sandrail or dune buggie. Too much fun!
