Sunset Beach has been a lakeside and ocean beach community since the 1930's. The area is rich in history and recreation
including museums, golf, boating & fishing, beachcombing, nearby factory outlet stores, hiking, kite flying, surfing and
light houses to explore.
Walk down the beach to the wreck of the Peter Iredale, a ship that ran aground in the early 1900's. Hike and bike
at Ft. Stevens State Park and Lewis and Clark National Park. The Japanese shelled Ft. Stevens during WWII and there
is a great military museum there. There's a great Maritime museum and Saturday Market in Astoria and the towns of Seaside
and Cannon Beach are just a few minutes away. Take the kids to the Prominade in Seaside or how about a swim and jacuzzi
at the indoor facilities in Seaside. Right next door to the pool there is a free Rec Center for kids and teens that
is a great rainy day activity!
Is the big city more your style? Drive 1 hour east to downtown Hillsboro and jump on the MAX light rail system
to the Oregon Zoo or Downtown Portland! Enjoy the numerous summer festivals in the Oregon beach towns and the Victorian
Homes tour in Astoria.
