Astoria Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Ludmilla Alexander

View charming Victorian homes atop steep hillsides in quaint Astoria, the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies on the Lewis & Clark Trail.
Romp through the forest, mountains, rivers, and in the sea.
Board the Riverfront Trolley to Fort Clatsop, the Columbia River Maritime Museum, Flavel House, Fort Stevens State Park, or the Astoria Column.
Carry an umbrella in warm seasons. About 75 inches of rain fall per year.
Prepare for drastic temperature changes: Summer temperatures seldom exceed 70 degrees; winter storms blow 100 mph winds onto the ocean bluffs.
Spy the 1906 wreck of the Peter Iredale from the beach at Fort Stevens State park, one of more than 200 shipwrecks that occurred at the mouth of the town's river.

Astoria Overview

Astoria, situated on the banks of the Columbia River just inland from the river's mouth, is the oldest American community west of the Mississippi. More a river town than a beach town, Astoria's greatest attraction lies in its hillsides of restored Victorian homes and the scenic views across the Columbia to the hills of southwestern Washington. The combination of historical character, scenic vistas, a lively arts community, and some interesting museums make this one of the most intriguing communities on the Oregon coast. Although it still has seamy sections of waterfront, the town has been busy over the past few years developing something of a tourist-oriented waterfront character. Read More
