With one of the tallest sand dunes in Oregon, exceptional crabbing, a classic Oregon lighthouse and forested trails galore, Winchester Bay has all the ingredients for a memorable coastal escape.

After a brisk winter stroll on the beach nothing hits the spot like a roaring fire, especially if there’s something tasty to nibble or sip as you settle in for some quality time with family or friends.
