Lincoln City Beach Travel Tips

  • Guide a kite through Lincoln's windy skies; a mix of warm equatorial air and cold polar gusts keep homemade aircraft flying for hours.
  • Enjoy local celebrations such as the Dog Olympics, fishing derbies, concerts, and migratory bird festival.
  • Collect glass floats—clear or colorful spheres used by Asian fishermen—as they wash up on the beach.
  • Join amateurs and professionals from four continents as they compete in three annual kite festivals, attend kite-building workshops, and take flying lessons.
  • Visit in March when the Indoor Windless Kite Festival attracts experts who forgo fans, air conditioners, and endless running.


Lincoln City Travel Guide

Lincoln City is the Oregon coast's number-one family destination, and, despite the name, it is not really a city at all. It's a collection of five small towns that grew together over the years and that now stretch for miles along the coast. Today there's no specific downtown, and though there may be more motel rooms here than anywhere else on the Oregon coast, there's little to distinguish most of the thousands of rooms. However, families looking for a long beach and steady winds for flying kites will likely enjoy Lincoln City. Motel rates here, though often high for what you get, are generally better than those in beach towns that are longer on charm, and you'll find an abundance of vacation homes for rent, too. Likewise, restaurants catering to big families and small pocketbooks are the norm. Such restaurants purvey hot meals rather than haute cuisine, and you can eat your fill of seafood without going broke. Read More
