One of the Oregon Coast's best-kept secrets, Neskowin is a serene, unhurried village where life slows down to the rhythm of the tides. The beach here is wide and uncrowded, backed by the pastoral Cascade Head and famously dotted by the mysterious ghost forest — ancient Sitka spruce stumps that emerge from the sand at low tide. With a handful of restaurants, a nine-hole golf course, and miles of pristine shoreline virtually to yourself, Neskowin is the ideal escape for travelers who want to experience the Oregon Coast at its most pure and peaceful.
