Oceanfront overlooking Three Arch Rocks

Oceanside Inn #8 is a favorite of regular guests to the Oceanside Inn. This historic property dates back to the 1920’s but recently underwent a full renovation. #8 is on the main level, on the Western (ocean-facing) end of the Northern wing, with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge. There are two bedrooms: one with a king bed and an attached bathroom, and a second with a queen size bed and an attached bathroom. Shared amenities at Oceanside Inn include three Level 2 EV chargers, complimentary guest laundry machines, and a massive deck extending over the bluff, and stairs to the beach below (there’s also a public beach access without stairs a block away). As noted in some reviews, the parking lot can be a little tight, and can occasionally be full (there are ten spaces for the ten units, but parking is not assigned). There is street parking immediately in front of the building, and plentiful parking about a block to the North across from the Blue Agate Cafe. Oceanside is considered by many to the hidden jewel of the Northern Oregon Coast. The beach is always special, but it’s even more so in Oceanside during low tides: tide pools abound on the far side of Maxwell Point. You can walk the tunnel under the Maxwell Point, or if the tide is sufficiently low, walk around it. You can easily harvest mussels by hand (with a shellfish license, purchased online from ODFW), and the tide pools are filled with anemones, sea stars, crabs, and mollusks. A few minutes to the south is Netarts Bay, where you can rent crab boats from Big Spruce Boat Rentals or Netarts Bay Garden RV Resort. They’ll give you tips for success, and they’ll even cook them up for you assuming a successful haul. You can crab year-round, but it’s generally best in fall and winter. You can also try clamming in Netarts Bay at low tide - there’s even a patch of geoduck clams at the start of the bay near Happy Camp! Oceanside is known as one of the best spots on the Oregon Coast for whale watching. While whales can be spotted any time of year, they’re most common from mid-December to mid-January as 20,000 gray whales migrate south to Mexico, and again in late March through early June as they pass by on their return to Alaska. When the weather is nice, the 180 degree views from the massive shared deck make it the perfect spot for whale watching. In town, you’ll find three great options for food within a block: Blue Agate and Current Cafe open for breakfast (and coffee!), and Rosanna’s is open starting with brunch . There’s also a small grocery store in Netarts, or a Safeway about 15 minutes away in Tillamook. The scenic road to through to Tillamook through Cape Meares is once again open, and while longer than the drive through Netarts, the views are exceptional. The drive down to Pacific City along Cape Lookout road is also amongst the most beautiful on the coast, making Pacific City (40 minutes to the south) an exceptional day trip. You can enjoy a drink at Pelican Brewery while watching the surfers and dory boats on the waves, and you can climb and slide down the dunes. We look forward to hosting you!
