A hidden gem in the dense coastal forests of southwest Oregon, Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area may be hard to find, but it’s well worth the 24-mile drive from Highway 101. The final 3-miles narrow to a one lane gravel road. The small parking and picnic area are located along the banks of Glenn and Silver Creeks and is shaded by large maple, alder, and Oregon myrtle trees. Hiking trails wind through scenic canyons to each of the waterfalls that plunge over sheer rock cliffs to moss covered boulders 100 feet below.Hike 1.4 miles to the top of Golden Falls to get an eagle’s-eye view of the cascading waterfall and giant old-growth firs and cedars. #thepeoplescoast @southernoregoncoast @travelcoosbay
Happy 166th Birthday, Oregon! 🎉🌊
Since becoming a state in 1859, Oregon’s stunning coastline has remained a place of rugged beauty, adventure, and inspiration. From towering sea stacks to hidden coves, the coast continues to captivate and connect us to nature.
Here’s to another year of waves, wonders, and wild beauty! 🌊✨#thepeoplescoast
☀️ LAKESIDE
🌲 This small town’s strategic location on the Coast reflects Oregon’s diverse terrain. Visitors to Lakeside can experience all of the Great Outdoors in one place.
🌊 For those seeking outdoor adventure, Lakeside might just have it all: three lakes, sand dunes, a large forest, and the ocean. There’s enough to fill months, let alone a weekend getaway. Boating, water-skiing, and kayaking on the lake in the morning can transition to off-roading in the dunes in the early afternoon. Close out the day with a sunset picnic dinner on the beach, then tent or RV camp nearby and get ready for the next day’s adventure. #thepeoplescoast
The Coquille River Lighthouse, Oregon’s last government-built lighthouse, has stood at the river’s mouth since 1896. Once guiding mariners past treacherous shifting sands, it was abandoned in 1939 but later restored and reopened to the public. Now part of Bullards Beach State Park, it remains a beloved landmark, blending history with stunning coastal views. 🌊✨

2025 Winter Waters Events on the Oregon Coast!
🌊 A steadfast sustainable-seafood advocate, Kieffer teamed up with two other coastal educators — commercial fisher and food-systems changemaker Kristen Penner and seafood marketing specialist Rachelle Hacmac — to create @winterwaterspnw , an annual culinary extravaganza, held every February. In 2025, its third season promises to provide even more amazing meals. At various dinners and events throughout the month, the trio partners with chefs and tastemakers from Portland to the Oregon Coast to create dishes using regenerative seafood, with an emphasis on farmed sea vegetables and sustainably caught Oregon seafood. Standout experiences in the past two years have ranged from sea-to-table dinners in Gearhart, Astoria and Portland to a cozy Japanese-themed seaweed dinner and ramen night at Basalt Studio in Cannon Beach.
Head to the 🔗 to check out all the Winter Waters events coming up next month! https://www.winterwaterspnw.com/events

🪨 Twin Rocks, one of the Oregon Coast’s most iconic formations, has stood for 45 million years, shaped by erosion and the relentless power of the waves. Formed by a massive lava flow over 300 miles away, the same one that fuels Yellowstone, Twin Rocks has been sculpted by time into its now-familiar shape. The rocks even influence the beach itself, redirecting waves and shaping the shoreline.
👀 For the best view, head to Minnehaha Street where you’re less than half a mile from this natural wonder. Look closely and you might just spot a sea dragon, a Native American princess, or even the Loch Ness Monster in its rugged silhouette.
