About 15 minutes outside Tillamook via Hwy 131 are the small coastal towns of Netarts & Oceanside. One is popular with fisherman, the other with beachcombers.

 

Netarts

Netarts is where you take your boat for a day of fishing or crabbing. We’ve also gone scuba diving in the Bay, seen bald eagles fly overhead and harbor seals on the spit.

Oceanside has a great beach that is usually not crowded.

My favorite part of Oceanside is hidden in a rocky cliff. A tunnel takes you through the rock to the other side.

Entering the tunnel is easy. It’s a short tunnel, so daylight is enough to be able to see the whole way. Coming out the other side and climbing down the rocks to the sand can be a bit tricky, though. It’s doable, just something to be aware of.

The view from the hidden beach is amazing. It’s one of my favorite places.
