Oregon Coast: Astoria to Brookings: 6-Day Plan You Can Actually Drive
Last updated:
The 6-day version for July: every day fits real transit, opening hours and daylight.
💡 Good to know for this plan
- Stay at confirmed-open signed overlooks, promenades and short public paths. Large unexpected waves, moving logs, unstable cliffs, cold water and rapidly rising tides are real hazards; remain behind barriers and above the surf and substitute a safe inland public stop when conditions are poor.

This is a planning draft. Check these changing details for your dates before booking or travelling.
Some route advice is currently available in English.
- Check tides, surf, weather and current public-site access for each coastal day.
Stay at confirmed-open signed overlooks, promenades and short public paths. Large unexpected waves, moving logs, unstable cliffs, cold water and rapidly rising tides are real hazards; remain behind barriers and above the surf and substitute a safe inland public stop when conditions are poor.
Check source ↗ - Confirm an insured car, fuel, every overnight and current US 101 conditions.
Check TripCheck before every transfer for US 101 crashes, construction, landslides, rockfall, flooding, wildfire, wind and closures. Winter rain is the primary coastal landslide trigger, and no stop is worth continuing into a closure.
Check source ↗ - Check state-park, forest, fire and smoke notices; providers are optional.
Recheck Oregon State Parks, forest and emergency notices. Dune vehicles, aquarium admission, boats, fishing, golf, long beach hikes and guide-led or equipment-dependent activities require separate decisions and are not part of the six-day public-road baseline.
