Pacific City

Pacific City might be off the beaten path, but it’s worth the detour.

Sitting on the edge of the Three Capes Scenic Drive, with the stunning Cape Kiwanda as its headland, Pacific City is a peaceful beachfront town offering plenty of outdoor pursuits. Thanks to a natural breakwater, Pacific City’s beach is a favorite spot for surfers and anglers. It’s also the birthplace of Pelican Brewery, located right next to the sand.
