🍂 With the holiday season around the corner, cranberries are back in season! Did you know the cranberry sauce on your table might come from Oregon-grown berries like these from Peters Cranberries? 🫐

Oregon’s South Coast is a top producer, and while most berries head to Ocean Spray for processing, you can still get fresh, local cranberries at local farm stands, cheese shops or local stores!

The Oregon Coast’s maritime climate—with sandy soils and shady forests—creates the perfect habitat for wild mushrooms, both edible and nonedible. 🍄‍🟫🌲 Mushroom spotting is an activity anyone can enjoy, but if you’re ready to try foraging, you’re in luck! Start with a local guide or class—places like Southwestern Community College on the South Coast are great resources. Be sure to pick up a Pacific Northwest mushroom field guide and remember the golden rule: never eat anything unless you can identify it with 100% certainty. Many toxic or poisonous mushrooms resemble edible varieties, so foraging with care is essential. Happy hunting! 🌦️🍃

🌊✨ Standing proudly 206 feet above the Pacific, Heceta Head Lighthouse is an Oregon Coast treasure! This iconic 56-foot tower, first illuminated in 1894, shines the brightest beacon on the coast, visible from 21 miles out at sea. With its rich history and breathtaking setting, it’s no wonder Heceta Head is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the state. 🌅

⛵️ The haunting remains of the Peter Iredale stand as a testament to the power of nature and the courage of those who sailed the seas. Built in 1890, this four-masted vessel ran aground on Clatsop Beach in 1906 after a sudden shift in wind and current swept her into the breakers. Though her masts snapped, the brave crew made it safely to shore, thanks to the lifesavers from Point Adams. Today, her weathered bones still capture imaginations, drawing visitors to the Oregon Coast to glimpse a piece of maritime history.

Garibaldi 🎣 Oregon’s Authentic Fishing Village

Garibaldi is a small port town and maritime community at the northern end of Tillamook Bay, close to where the Bay flows into the Pacific. People here are close companions with the sea.

At the marina, commercial fishermen haul freshly caught Dungeness crabs, ling cod, rockfish, and even octopus up to the docks. Sport fishermen tell tales at the filet table about their record-size Chinook salmon. Local hometown restaurants serve the catch of the day at their dockside tables while, down on the water, kayakers paddle out to look for bald eagles, pigeon guillemots, and purple martins flying over the bay.

November is Native American Heritage Month

Indigenous people have inhabited what is now Oregon since time immemorial with cultures as rich and diverse as the landscapes they live on. Today, the members of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon carry forward a deep knowledge of this place and traditions that have endured and evolved for thousands of years.

Did you know has a small restaurant next door to its famous seafood market in Seaside? Next time you stop by to pick up fresh fish, come hungry and pop into the eatery next door for lingcod fish & chips or a nostalgia-inducing tuna melt featuring Oregon-caught Albacore.

Prioritize eating Oregon seafood - especially in October: National Seafood Month!

While Oregon is a prolific producer of high-quality seafood, most of it is exported to other markets around the nation and globe. In the meantime, Oregon Coast visitors are spending $840 million on food stores and services annually. Shockingly, a study recently commissioned by the Oregon Coast Visitors Association found that about 90% of the seafood sold and served on the Oregon Coast didn’t even originate near the Oregon Coast. Let’s change that by supporting seafood markets and restaurants that highlight the local catch.

Here’s to the miles, the memories, and the incredible journey along the Oregon Coast Trail! 💪🌊 Who’s hiking the OCT in 2025? ⛰️ 🌊 🥾 @traveloregon #traveloregon #thepeoplescoast #oct #oregoncoasttrail #oregoncoast

If slow days are you thing, we’ve got you covered this winter. 🌲 🌊 ⛅️ There’s a saying hardy Oregonians like to use: There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices. Sure, it may be rainy, muddy and chilly during parts of the winter months — but with proper gear and a cheery outlook, you can embrace the season for what it is. In fact, there’s no better time to celebrate Oregon in all of its lush glory than to walk through a misty old-growth forest after the crowds have gone and Mother Nature’s quiet surprises await. 🌲⛅️Looking for some winter hikes? https://visittheoregoncoast.com/travel-guides/how-to/waterfalls-and-winter-hikes/ #thepeoplescoast #oregoncoast #traveloregon #pnw #oregon #waterfall

Further out from large population centers, the Southern Coast revels in being off the beaten path. Set out into the wild, where coastal forest trails, stunning sand dunes, and secluded beaches await. #thepeoplescoast Do you have a favorite spot on the southern Oregon Coast? 🎥 @ryan_weisser (IG)
