Just south of Manzanita, along the coastline, is Nehalem Bay State Park, situated on the four-mile Nehalem Spit on the west side of Nehalem Bay. It features day use areas, RV, tent and yurt camping close to the beach, a horse camp and a hiker/bike camp. There are hiking and hiking trails, boat ramp, a meeting hall and a 2,400’ airstrip.

Oswald West State Park

Named to honor Oregon’s 14th governor, Oswald D. West, Oswald West State Park is located on U.S. Hwy. 101 four miles north of Manzanita. One of the most spectacular state parks in Oregon, this 2,484 acre park encompasses a 13 mile stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail and two prominent headlands: Cape Falcon and Neahkahnie Mountain. It includes Short Sands Beach which is popular with surfers Erected by Oregon Department of Transportation, at the south end of the park along Highway 101, there is a viewpoint that features a historical marker honoring governor Oswald West. Because of the passing of his 1913 bill declaring Oregon’s seashore a public highway, a law was passed ensuring that the land between the high and low tide on the entire Oregon coast could not be privately owned. Parking is limited, but the stretch of Neahkahnie Mountain near the Oswald West marker features several pullouts with expansive views of the ocean and coastline. It is a popular location for seasonal whale watching.

little apples; in fact “Manzanita” is “little apple” in Spanish. Manzanita is the northernmost community in Tillamook County, and faces the ocean. Laneda Avenue, the main street of town, leads directly to the beach. Manzanita lies between Highway 101 and the ocean, at the base of Neahkahnie Mountain, a 1,700 foot peak. The town is bracketed by two state parks, Oswald West State Park on the north and Nehalem Bay State Park on the south. A rugged trail up Neahkahnie Mountain leads to a breathtaking panoramic view of the northern Oregon coast and the Pacific Ocean. Legend has it that there is treasure buried on Neahkahnie Mountain, but it has never been found. Manzanita offers access to seven miles of sandy beach with views of beautiful Neahkahnie Mountain. This breezy beach is popular with windsurfers and kite flyers. There is a popular nine-hole golf course close to the beach. The business district includes a variety of shops, eateries and bars, lodging establishments, spa services, real estate offices, grocery stores, banks, an urgent care center and more. There is a cozy library and a small arts center that offers classes, guest author readings, performances and exhibitions. Seasonally, the Manzanita Farmers Market is a great place to stock up on locally grown food, browse through a variety of vendors and get something yummy to eat while enjoying live music. The town has a

Nehalem, and the river and bay attached, are named for the Native American tribe. “Nehalem” is a Salish word that means “place where people live.” The town was settled in the 1850s because of its proximity to the river and to the lush farmlands upstream. Nehalem was a lumbering town; logs

DISCOVERY 2021 came to town by way of a rail line that ran up the Nehalem River, and part of the mill was built over the river. There’s a boat launch in the center of town. The community has a grocery store, restaurants and shops to explore. The old Nehalem Elementary School building, which has North County’s only swimming pool, is now home to the North County Recreation District and houses the offices of the Port of Nehalem. Nehalem Bay Historical Society preserves history of Nehalem, Manzanita and Wheeler.

Brighton &Nehalem Bay

Mohler

Unincorporated Mohler, up the Nehalem River by Highway 53, is farm country. It was named in 1911. Mohler had its own post office from 1897 until 1959. Today, Mohler is a quiet corner of Tillamook County and reflects that in the attitudes and ways of life of the residents living there. The main attraction to visit is the local winery with tasting rooms and seasonal events. There is a grocery store with a deli. Further west on Highway 53 is the White Clover Grange, an historic building available to rent for special occasions and where community events are held throughout the year.

Wheeler

Wheeler was incorporated as a city in 1913, prosperous in its early years because of its location along the railroad line that ran from Tillamook through the Coast Range into the Willamette Valley. Wheeler is located on a sweeping curve of Nehalem Bay. Downtown is along Highway 101 and the homes are situated along the steep hills that give a near stadium seating effect for an amazing view of Nehalem Bay and Neahkahnie Mountain. Today, antique malls and shops line Highway 101. There are places to eat and lodgings, including along the Nehalem Bay waterfront.

There’s a small waterfront park, boat launch and marina in the center of town to attract sporting enthusiasts. Fishing and crabbing are popular in the area. Oh, and you can’t forget the numerous kayaking opportunities.

International Police Museum

Check out the new location of the International Police Museum located in Wheeler Treasures. There are special exhibits throughout the year and the permanent collection includes many interesting historical artifacts fundamental for police work including weapons, tools and uniforms. Learn the history of policing and about early pioneers of the field. A youth interactive area includes group programs where students try on real police gear, get their fingerprints taken and more.

H63581

Brighton Beach, where Nehalem Bay meets the ocean, was named after England’s seaside resort of Brighton, in the obvious hope it would become a popular vacation spot. Three miles south of Wheeler on Highway 101, Brighton platted in 1910, had a sawmill that produced spruce lumber for aircraft during World War I and a Southern Pacific railroad depot. Today, Brighton is home to waterfront marinas and RV parks. You may notice the highway mile markers through this area – between Wheeler and Rockaway – all have a “Z” prefix (and the numbers don’t match up with the mile markers on the rest of the highway). That’s because this stretch of Highway 101 was supposed to be temporary. As designed, the highway was to cross Nehalem Bay and run along the Nehalem Bay spit to Manzanita. The Great Depression happened instead. The resort community envisioned on the Nehalem Bay spit was never built and the

county got the land, now Nehalem Bay State Park, for unpaid taxes.

Rockaway Beach

Rockaway Beach is Tillamook County’s second-largest town. It was developed around the turn of the last century as an oceanfront resort by the Rockaway Beach Company, and was named after the oceanfront resort on Long Island. The two are still “sister cities.” With seven miles of ocean beaches, Rockaway Beach (the “Beach” was added to the name in the 1980s) is one of the more affordable Oregon coast destinations. The railroad connecting Tillamook to Portland came through Rockaway Beach in 1911. The Oregon Coast Scenic Looking for a Special Something? You’ll find it here!

Railroad still runs seasonal passenger trains to and from Rockaway and Garibaldi. Highway 101, next to the railroad tracks, is bordered by a business district where you’ll find banking, realty offices, grocery shopping, dining, and stores of many kinds to explore. On the north side of town is Lake Lytle (named after one of the builders of the railroad). The lake, sparsely surrounded by homes, has several boat ramps; the public one is on Highway 101. The lake is regularly stocked with trout. Festivals and local events throughout the year attract photographers and visitors for art, crafts, authors, food and music. They are held in the heart of downtown at the Rockaway Beach State Wayside. Originally the site of a saltwater notarium, it is now the most accessible public beach access point in town and features sweeping views of the ocean waves meeting the sandy beach and of the striking 100-foot high Twin Rocks located off-shore to the south.

There is parking and here you will find the Chamber of Commerce Information Center located in a restored red caboose, as well as the train stop. Rockaway Beach is lively in the summer with an annual kite festival (pictured on the cover of this guide) and a packed Fourth of July weekend. The popular Fourth of July Parade is followed in the evening by a fireworks display over the ocean. South of Rockaway Beach, where Tillamook Bay meets the Pacific Ocean you’ll find the small community of Barview, notable for the Barview Jetty and Barview Jetty County Park. There is a small grocery store close to Highway 101 and a parking area near the beach and jetty.

The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad is a registered non-profit museum organization (501c3). It operates over the former Southern Pacific and Port of Tillamook Bay Railroads with regularly scheduled trains between Rockaway Beach and Garibaldi and in the summer months. There are also special event trains throughout the year over the rest of the line which extends from the Tillamook Air Museum blimp hangar on the South side of Tillamook through Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Wheeler and beyond. If you can’t make it to the coast to experience this unique attraction, it’s worth a visit to their website, www.oregoncoastscenic.org, to see footage of the train in action and to learn about train history in Oregon.

Garibaldi DISCOVER

Heading south from Barview at the northern end of Tillamook Bay, you will know you are nearing the fishing town of Garibaldi when you see the beautiful sandstone formations, known as The Three Graces, near the shores of Tillamook Bay. They are popular as a hangout for shorebirds, photographers and beachcombers at low tide. Garibaldi was platted in 1860 by Daniel Bayley, who became the first postmaster. In 1879, he named the settlement after

Italian hero and fisherman Giuseppe Garibaldi, whom President Lincoln had tried to recruit to lead the Union armies in the Civil War. Garibaldi is home to Coast Guard Station Tillamook, established in 1908. Today, the station’s area of responsibility is Tillamook Head to Cape Kiwanda. Station Tillamook Bay averages 250 search and rescue cases annually. Highway 101 cuts through Garibaldi’s business district, which is several blocks long. Basic services include gas marts, a grocery store, liquor store, barber and

old-fashion bakery. There are a variety of lodgings, pubs, restaurants and espresso shops. A myrtlewood outlet and shops are here to explore. The Garibaldi Maritime Museum, founded to commemorate the Oregon coast’s “discovery” by Captain Robert Gray in 1788, features a collection of maritime and historical memorabilia. The hub of the town these days is the Port of Garibaldi, a sprawling complex set on docks over Tillamook Bay. This is an invigorating setting filled with fresh air that brings one into immediate contact with the nostalgic commercial fishing and charter boat culture of the Pacific Northwest. There is a working fishing marina lined with seafood processing facilities and, with local fresh seafood outlets open to the public, this is a destination for seafood aficionados. The port is also home to popular restaurants and there is plenty of room for the public to park and enjoy a good walk and take in the sights. The Lion’s Club Lumbermen’s Park features playground equipment for the kiddos. Here you’ll find a vintage Baldwin 2-8-2 No. 90 logging locomotive displayed. The Port operates a small RV park that is located close to the public

Operating June through September, several daily roundtrips to Rockaway Beach are offered. To also be enjoyed are special seasonal train excursions including the Candy Cane Express with Santa over the holiday season. Originally constructed of wood in 1930 by Garibaldi school students, the huge letter G situated above the town on Captain Gray Mountain is a famous Oregon coast landmark beloved by locals. Now made of metal, the structure and the property it stands on are maintained by community groups. Affectionately known as “Big G,” the structure is particularly beautiful at night where it can be seen for miles, evoking a welcoming gesture and sense of community pride.

Tillamook

In its early years, the town of Tillamook, the first community to be settled in the county, bore the unofficial names Lincoln and Hoquarton, a native word meaning “the landing.” Its name was eventually changed to Tillamook, another native word meaning “the many peoples of the Nehelim.” William Clark of explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in 1806 of the Killamox Indians but according to research by the Clatsop-Nehalem Confederated Tribes, the ‘K’ was not used in the name of the tribe. Local folklore used Land of Many Waters as the meaning of Tillamook. Though it is a fact that Tillamook is a land of many waters it is not the true meaning of the name Tillamook. When Thomas Stillwell laid out his town of “Lincoln” in 1861, there were already other settled towns in Tillamook County – Bay City, Garibaldi, and Nehalem. When the post office was established in 1866 the name was changed to avoid confusion with Lincoln City, which already existed further south. Tillamook became the county seat in 1873. In 1893, a great portion of the city, located on 1st Street at the time, burned to the ground. Today, motels, restaurants, food carts, family attractions, service shops and specialty shops line U.S. Highway 101 north of the city. The town’s center features eateries, three brew pubs, flower and gift shops, beauty salons, a historic movie theater and new food court, called Flavors on First. In the summer months, people can stock up on local produce at the Tillamook Farmers Market

each Saturday. At the north end of town, on the north side of Conde McCullough’s famous Wilson River bridge, is the Tillamook County Creamery Association cheese factory, the biggest tourist attraction in Oregon, drawing over 1.5 million visitors each year from around the world. On the east side of town, out Third Street, is the county fairgrounds, as well as Tillamook Bay Community College. To the west, on Highway 131 to Netarts, Oceanside and the “Three Capes Scenic Loop,” is the Tillamook Regional Medical Center and its associated clinics and doctors’ offices. Tillamook has eight city parks; there are boat launch ramps at the newly redesigned Sue H. Elmore Park on the Hoquarton Slough (downtown) and Carnahan Park, on the west side of town on the Trask River. A Bike-Skate Park at the Lillian A. Goodspeed Park, located on 3rd Street, east of downtown, is a big draw for any age rider. Tillamook is the county seat for Tillamook County. The courthouse and city hall which are centrally located in downtown Tillamook, both boast historic WPA murals inside. Tillamook also has a very active YMCA with two large swimming pools, workout facility, indoor track, basketball courts, pickle ball courts, racquetball and handball courts and plenty of exercise classes for all levels. Key events start out with a Ball Dropping New Year’s celebration. In the spring, the Headlight Herald hosts its annual Home and Garden Show. In June Tillamook plays host

to the June Dairy Parade and in August one of the best county fairs in the country takes over the fairgrounds for four days. All events at the fair are free once you pay the nominal fee to enter the grounds. Halloween is very special time in Tillamook for the little ones, because the entire business community partakes in handing out goodies to all the little ghouls and goblins. In December, the City of Tillamook along with the Chamber of Commerce hosts the Holiday Light Parade with a visit from Santa and the annual Tree Lighting.

Beaver, Hebo, Cloverdale & Neskowin All of the communities in south Tillamook County are unincorporated. Most started as market centers for local farmers or fishermen; some later developed lumber mills. A couple were founded as—and still are—resort communities.

Beaver

Located 17 miles south of Tillamook, Beaver is a community of 103 residents with a business district comprised of a gas and food mart and a small grocery and gun store. Named after Oregon’s official animal, the American beaver, the community had a post office (est. 1889), several lumber mills and a cheese factory in its heyday. Three miles north of town is an eclectic little store with espresso and food, regional wine and craft beer, groceries, boutique and seasonal greenhouse. You may want to carve out some time to visit Munson Creek Falls State Natural Site, 10 miles north of town. From the parking lot, it is a quarter mile hike to see the tallest waterfall in the Oregon Coast Range at 320-feet. In Beaver, Highway 101 connects with Blaine Road, which becomes the Upper Nestucca River Road, a National Forest Scenic Back Roads Byway.

Hebo

At the intersection of Oregon Route 22 and US 101 is downtown Hebo, with roughly 182 residents. Another old logging town, it once had a dancehall and its own newspaper. Now you’ll find a post office (est.1882), coffee cart and two small stores with deli food. One has considerable sporting goods to stock up on. A nice attraction operated by Siuslaw National Forest is Hebo Lake Campground and Hebo Lake Day Use area. Just ¼ mile along Route 22 from Hebo, connect to Forest Service Road 14 and travel 4.5 miles to this destination for fishing, swimming, hiking trails and an historic 1937 picnic shelter and community kitchen built by the Civil Conservation Corps that can be rented for special occasions.

Cloverdale

Two miles south of Hebo, Highway 101 cuts though the small downtown business district of Cloverdale, with a population of 177 residents. Cloverdale was founded by Charles Ray at this site around 1884. He established a store, hotel, bank, cheese factory and post office (est.1899). The community lies in a pastoral setting dominated by the spire of the old and picturesque St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Cloverdale has an antique mall and fabric shop to explore along with other stores including a cheese tasting room, gallery and a farm supply store. There is a convenience store, banking and dining. Cloverdale honors its rural heritage and dairy industry each year on July 4th with the Cloverdale Festival. There is a pancake breakfast, parade, classic auto show and live music, along with food and craft vendors.

Neskowin

Just 13 miles north of Lincoln City, the coastal village of Neskowin was founded in 1910. In the old residential area of beach cottages, most streets are one lane wide and not recommended for large vehicles. With a year-round population of 134, Neskowin is the southernmost community in Tillamook County. A variety of lodgings are available. Picturesque Proposal Rock stands in the surf and provides a popular backdrop for weddings. Neskowin is a relaxing hide-a-way with pleasant luxuries available like wonderful food and wine. Special events dot the calendar throughout the summer. From May through September, Neskowin Farmers Market provides a beautiful array of local foods and art to enjoy. Outdoor activities include horseback riding, golfing, canoeing, kayaking and hiking. Encompassing the area between the mouth of the Nestucca River on the south end and 1200’ Cascade Head to the north there are about three miles of ocean beach to enjoy. Neskowin Beach State Recreation allows access to Cascade Head and four trails to explore.

Netarts

Home to 778 residents, unincorporated Netarts is six miles west of Tillamook on Highway 131. Beautiful Netarts Bay is famous for its oysters. Protected from the Pacific Ocean by the Netarts spit, the bay, with its boat landing, is a popular fishing, clamming, crabbing, and scuba diving site. There are bayfront lodgings, RV Parks, dining and brew pubs, real estate offices, a few stores and groceries.

Oceanside

Oceanside is nine miles from Tillamook and three miles north of Netarts on Highway 131. Unincorporated, the community is home to roughly 546 people. Oceanside’s picturesque oceanfront includes views of Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge located offshore west of Maxwell Point. This quiet hideaway is peppered with homes, vacation rentals and bed and breakfasts lining the hillside behind the tiny downtown core. The business district is comprised of a post office, small community center popular for weddings, dining establishments (one overlooking the ocean) and lodgings. There

is a fire station in town, but the closest store is in Netarts. Oceanside State Recreation Area provides public parking, beach access and restrooms. It draws agate hunters in the winter when the sand is stripped away by ocean currents. In summer, the park is a busy destination for beach activities. Located roughly two miles north of Oceanside, Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint sits on a headland 200-feet above the ocean. It features circa 1890s Cape Meares Lighthouse with free tours and gift shop open May-September. In this area of old-growth spruce, the largest Sitka spruce tree in the state of Oregon stands. There are three miles of walking trails and wildlife to be seen. Look for the famous “Octopus Tree” along the way.

Located 43 miles southwest of Tillamook and 30 miles north of Lincoln City, Pacific City is tucked beside Cape Kiwanda, the southernmost of Three Capes Scenic Drive, an off-thebeaten-path byway that includes Cape Lookout and Cape Meares. Sitting one-half mile off-shore, 327-foot Haystack Rock provides a dramatic focal point against the surf and rugged sandstone cliffs of Cape Kiwanda. It is one of the largest “sea stacks” in the world. Unincorporated with an estimated 1,076 residents, the community includes second homeowners and a booming tourism industry. There are good eateries, pubs and lodging options, galleries and shops to explore and special events throughout the year to enjoy. Access to outdoor adventure is provided by charter fishing companies, horseback riding guides and kayak rental services. Pacific City is a self-contained community providing the services needed for a comfortable visit or a laid-back coastal lifestyle. Basics include a small airport, gas station, food markets and bakeries, a post office, library and churches, RV parks, fitness and spa services, medical providers and dental care. Fishing has been a mainstay of Pacific City’s economy since its inception. The Dory Fleet, some 200 flat-bottomed boats that launch directly into the surf, has been the basis of commercial fishing in the area. The Annual Dory Days Weekend festival held in July is recognized by the Oregon Heritage Commission as an Oregon Heritage Tradition. Pacific City is home to Bob Straub State Park and boat launching sites. Nearby is the U.S. Forest Service’s Sand Lake Recreation Area, a popular destination for off-roading. The new Sitka Sedge State Natural Area

provides hiking opportunities and access to coastal estuary habitat. South of Pacific City is a large portion of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a favorite with birders and hikers.

NETARTS Detail from 1943 fresco mural by Lucia Wiley

Historic Lucia Wiley Murals

Granddaughter of Tillamook pioneer settlers, Lucia Wiley (1906-1998) became one of the most significant fresco artists in America by the 1950s. In the early 1940s, she was awarded a fresco commission through the Section of Fine Arts, Treasury Dept. 48 States Competition. A group of citizens requested that it be installed in the new post office being built in Tillamook which opened in 1941. Lucia’s mural, Captain Gray’s First Visit to the Oregon Coast, also known as The Landing of Captain Robert Gray in 1788, was completed in 1943. It depicts the captain’s first contact with the indigenous people of Oregon. The 20’x30’ piece is a fresco, one of the oldest forms of painting where drypowder pigments are added directly to wet plaster where they become part of the wall. The Tillamook Post Office mural project led to Lucia Wiley’s privately Detail from, Build funded coming of the M orning Star by Lu mission to cia Wiley. create the beautiful and interesting 28’ x 13’ fresco mural, “Building of the Morning Star,” at the south entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse. Completed in 1950, the fresco was a finalist in the Architectural League of New York’s Gold Medal Award in 1951. Lucia considered this mural to be her best work.
