Art happens here!

A stunning stretch of Oregon’s North Coast from Tillamook City to Cannon Beach, which captivates visitors with its dramatic beauty, artistic diversity, and rich history. Framed by the rugged peaks of the Neahkahnie Mountain range, this region offers sweeping ocean views, sandy beaches, and lush coastal forests. The name “Neahkahnie” is thought to mean “place of the gods” in the language of the local Tillamook tribe, honoring the area’s deep spiritual and cultural roots. The region also boasts a thriving art scene, with galleries, studios, and public art that celebrate its coastal beauty and vibrant local culture. In towns like Cannon Beach and Manzanita, art galleries display everything from coastal-inspired paintings and intricate glasswork to sculptures crafted from driftwood and metal. Events such as Cannon Beach’s annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival and Manzanita’s Mudd Nick Arts Festival attract artists and enthusiasts alike, while local studios offer workshops that invite visitors to connect creatively with the landscape. For adventurers, art lovers, and those seeking relaxation alike, the Neahkahnie Coast is a unique blend of natural wonder, artistic expression, and coastal charm.
