The Oregon Coast,
explored on foot.
Wet feet. Cries of seagulls. Silt and sirens’ songs in the air. Fishermen who are out for the day, crabbing in Oregon’s inlets and bays. Fisheries and breweries, are everywhere you go.
This is the Oregon Coast Trail.
From mountains to sand castles
Oregon’s coast has so much beauty to offer. Visitors and residents gather here for excellent birdwatching, surfing, and relaxation. In September 2021, due to the California wildfires on the PCT, we headed down to the Oregon coast to escape the smoke… and take a walk! Winds in our hair, sand between our toes - and basically everywhere, because that’s what sand does - and camping on the beach: Here’s our story of the Oregon Coast Trail and tips to get you started.
Best season to hike the OCT?
The trail’s conditions are pretty good throughout the summer months. It is possible, however, to hike the OCT in late spring (May - June) or early fall (September - October). It is important to keep river fords and tide cycles into account and plan your hike accordingly.
