You can set out after them, going windsurfing, boating, or sea kayaking in the Pacific. Scuba diving nearby coves and shipwrecks is also popular, in waters offering high visibility. The town is artsy and eclectic, boasting top-notch galleries, shops, and restaurants where the views are as good as the food. The Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway is a stunning cycling route in Oregon, showcasing the rugged beauty of the state's southern coastline. This 61-mile loop starts and ends in Port Orford, taking riders through a mix of coastal highways, quiet backroads, and scenic river valleys.
