Each of these destinations are around 1.5-2 hrs from Portland. The weather on the coast can be very different from the city. Be sure to check the forecast.

  • Astoria-Located at confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River, Astoria is a fun coastal town with a historic downtown district. For dinner or drinks check out Ft. George Brewery and Buoy.
