    I would have to say Lincon city or Canon Beach.......Lincon City for chinook winds and Canon Beach because it really looks like a beach town where as Seaside looks more like a family fun center in my opinion. I also like Yachats Beach.

    I've always said meh to Seaside. Our church had a men's retreat near Rockaway. Decent little town with a nice beach, as well!

    Boo to Peaside.

    Pacific City was my spot. Yachats is now. It's super quiet there and I rarely hit any traffic congestion getting there. And I'll be there this week/weekend. Bam!

    Has anyone been to the Fort Clatsop area recently? I remember going there as a kid student.

    1) Lincoln Beach. No motels, outstanding coffee shop, quiet beach. The place to really relax.

    2) Newport area. From 68th street to the Bay Front. Excellent beaches and wind sheltered areas as well as a few places to hang. Good crabbing of the dock by Rogue Ale brewery.

    3) Yachats. Quaint. Luna's is my favorite coastal restaurant and they beaches just north of town that are empty.

    Re: Whats your favorite beach or beach town in oregon to visit for cheap thrills & ki

    After scouring the Oregon coast I picked Bandon. Deep water channel in to the Port from the Sea and the weather is much better than up North. I think Cape Arago is a weather change point,
    it's just North of Bandon about 15 miles.

    Luna's good. There's a lot of good little restaurants in Yachats we've been discovering. Our place is on the north end of town (just south of a two block town called "San Marine"). A short block to the beach, and as you said, the beach is absolutely quiet. We were there five days over the Fourth of July, and spent much of the time hanging on the beach and maybe saw 4-8 people each day (a few more if we ventured far from our beach access).

    As MarAzul points out, Bandon is another cool beach.

    Speaking of restaurants, the next time you have time to eat in Newport, this place is outstanding! Best to go between semi-normal eating times, though. The wait can be very, very long:

    Grew up going to PC, and went a lot until recently. Great fishing, crabbing, surfing, and the Sportsman has great bar food and reasonable pints.

    Banana belt of the Oregon coast. Some good hiking areas and sea lions. Not a lot of sandy beaches. Mostly ex-Californians living there which bloated the housing prices.
