🌊 Opening weekend drop is almost here! From January 3–5, 2025, one hundred of these beautiful aquamarine floats will be hidden along the seven miles of beach in Lincoln City. Each float was handcrafted by the talented artists at Glass Forge Studio in Grants Pass, Oregon.

This is the most floats that will be dropped in one weekend throughout the entire year! Happy hunting and cheers to a new year. 🎉

🎉 We can’t wait to celebrate 25 incredible years of Finders Keepers in 2025!

Since the turn of the millennium in 2000, hand-made glass floats have been hidden along the beaches of Lincoln City as part of this iconic scavenger hunt, inspired by the glass fishing floats commonly found here in the past. Over the years, it’s become a beloved tradition and a defining part of Lincoln City’s charm.

We’ll kick the year off during opening weekend, January 3–5, with a special drop of 100 glass floats—the best odds of the entire year to snag one!

We then have an exciting lineup of activities planned for the new year, including free commemorative glass coins, limited-edition metallic glass floats, in-person events, collaborations with local businesses, and the 25 Years of Finders Keepers exhibit, now open at the

Lincoln City is a canine-favorite destination! Our wide, sandy beaches and forested trails provide ample space for dogs to run and play. 🐕

We welcome furry-friends to Lincoln City, but be sure to keep in mind some dog-ownership guidelines during your stay:

🔸 Bring bags for your pet's waste at all times, weather on the beach or a trail, and dispose of waste in a trash can immediately. Do not leave a bag behind on your walk with the intention of picking it up later.
🔹 All pets must be kept on a leash while on Lincoln City trails. At the beach, pets can be off-leash as long as they are under direct supervision and obey commands. Owners must always have a leash readily available.
🔸 Pets are never allowed on Cascade Head, as it is a protected wildlife sanctuary. The presence or scent of dogs in this habitat may force wild animals to leave their homes, both temporarily and permanently.
🔹 Don’t let pets drink the water in Devil’s Lake, as there are often harmful algal blooms that can cause illness in dogs.
