Surfing

Surfing is one of the most exhilarating experiences the coast offers. Every weekend, thrill seekers from around the northwest descend upon our beaches searching for the perfect wave. For those brave enough to ignore the chilly waters and occasional shark, this area offers some of the most beautiful and popular surf spots in Oregon.

Local surf shops are not only a good source of information and tips, but they will also rent you everything you need for your surfing safari.

For the novice, body boards and skim boards are a fun, safer, and less expensive option.

CAUTION: the coastal waters in this area are dangerous. Riptides, high waves, and sharp rocks have caused injuries and deaths in recent years. Be very careful to abide by all safety rules and never venture out into the ocean alone.

Ready to hang ten? These shops will rent you wetsuits, boards, and steer you towards the Big Kahunas!
