Our favorites are Clearwater and Local Ocean. We love seafood and they have the freshest fish varieties. There are many cute and quaint gift shops and galleries to explore. There's a wide range of options, including yummy treats! The Sea lion docks are fun to visit, although pretty stinky. You can definitely smell the fish coming in off the fishing boats and being processed. Not the best smell, but a clue that fresh fish is available. There are also museums you can visit along the bayfront, namely Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center. There are kayak tours and discovery boat tours. Such a wonderful place to visit. There's something for everyone. Highly recommend!

She showed me around the center, found information on my family and knew who to call to help give me more information on my family. Overall I was amazed at how genuine and wonderful the people are. It really is small town America where everyone knows your name and gives you a giant smile as you drive in. It has had some good times and it's not so great times but it is worth a stop. The shops might not be open late and the glitz and glamour is over in Newport, but you will find some really nice people willing to stay open later to make you a BLT, to show you around the city and have more than small talk as you pass by. Definitely worth a walk in the town down Main Street, past all the beautiful Victorians and take a minute to sit at the one of many city benches throughout the town. This isn't a place you rush through, you come, you sit and you enjoy the peace and quiet that is Toledo, Oregon. And the best place to start is the historical center that has over 100 years of Toledo history in it.

This is a review for the Yachats Commons rental experience, which is handled through the City of…read moreYachats. I would give the space, amenities, and price five stars. If you're looking for an event space in Yachats, odds are there will be a space in this building that can accommodate you. Please be aware though, that if you have any questions whatsoever throughout the process of scouting, securing a reservation, and planning for your event, the coordinator will be nearly impossible to reach and likely will not return your call. (This is why I can only give the space 3 stars overall) This review comes from someone who works for an event space, so I truly know how busy a role like this can be, however, when numerous phone calls with questions about the space go unanswered, and community members see my pleas for help on Facebook, that was the only way I was able to get quite simple information that a return phone call would have taken maybe 2 minutes of time. I finally bit the bullet and rented the place sight unseen, hopeful it would work for our event (and it did). Prior to our arrival, I did get the coordinator on the phone to discuss arrival time and location, however she forgot this arrangement and called me the day before our arrival to confirm erroneous details, which I had to remind her of. She then was 15 minutes late to meet up, which set our schedule for the day behind from the get-go. No instructions were given about clean up other than someone would be by to weigh the trash(?), and that person did not ever show up. After the event, 10 days went by before I called to inquire about the refund of our security deposit. I was told by the coordinator it had been issued, so I called my bank, confirming they did not have anything pending on their end. While on the phone with my bank, a receipt was sent via email showing the refund had just THEN, that morning, been initiated. It finally cleared the bank 2 weeks after our event. Perhaps the coordinator is going through a difficult season of life that makes necessary communication less than ideal, but prospective renters should be aware that if you aren't a local organization with a standing reserved room or a "regular" it seems like customer service is not prioritized.

Love this little beach town! It has everything we love when visiting the Oregon coast...beach…read moreaccess, fresh seafood, lovely house rentals with ocean views, walkable trails, and cute little souvenir shops to peruse. The only thing it doesn't have is a gas station. Nearest one is 8 miles north on highway 101 in Waldport. Highlights include the Yachats State Park and Recreation Site. Great views with a viewing platform, tide pools to explore, restrooms, and plenty of parking. Many grab a bite in town and come here to eat it with a gorgeous view. Good eats include Luna Sea Fish House, LeRoy's Blue Whale, and Ona Restaurant & Lounge. Topper's is a great place for salt water taffy, ice cream, and handmade fudge and chocolates. If you're looking for rental properties, Sweet Homes is a great company to work with. We've used them a few times and have always been happy with pricing, amenities and correspondence. There's also a post office, Dollar General and C & K Market for last minute items. Overall, one of our favorite coastal towns to visit. Not crowded like more popular beach towns. A perfect place to relax and rewind. Highly recommend.

The library is my favorite building in the entire county and I encourage everyone to check out (forgive the pun) this gem.

I love the fact that there are two lighthouses on both sides of town. The place is scenic already with the Oregon Coast but having not one but two lighthouses makes it all the more magical. This one looks a lot different than the lighthouse north of town. This has a fine historical aspect to it and served as a residence as well if you can go in and tour around which you can't always do. And of course like most lighthouse locations there is a great view involved here and you can look out over the ocean. I recommend visiting both lighthouses in town but the one north is my favorite but both are nice, minor walks and plenty of picture opportunities are are available here.
