Waldport
is a beautiful seaside town, located exactly halfway between the Washington and California borders along Oregon’s scenic coastline. Highway 101 crosses the picturesque Alsea Bay Bridge and takes you directly into the town that is situated at the mouth of the Alsea River, making it a very popular spot for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. The coastline at Waldport has miles and miles of smooth, sandy beaches, perfect for hiking, agate hunting, clamming and crabbing. But, it also has picturesque, rugged shoreline that offers some great photographic opportunities. You will find unique shops in Waldport, as well as fine restaurants and a flea mart. Its central location makes it an easy drive to other Oregon coast attractions such as Alsea Falls, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Sea Lion Caves and the Perpetua Scenic Area. And, Waldport is home to several festivals throughout the year, including the annual Beachcomber Days Festival, 4th of July Fireworks Over the Bay, and the annual Cruzin’ for Crab Festival, usually held in September.

Waldport Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The Central Pacific Coast of Oregon enjoys a mild to moderate climate year round. The ocean is the single most influencing factor on the weather. Because of the normal movement of air masses from west to east, most of the storm systems moving across Oregon are extensively modified while traveling over the ocean. This also keeps temperatures at a moderate level all year long. As a result, winter minimum and summer maximum temperatures on the Oregon coast are also greatly modified and remain pleasant. The coastal region does, however, receive an abundant amount of rainfall, especially during the winter months. Occasional flooding along coastal streams occurs. This also accounts for the rich pastures and farmland along the Oregon coast, however. The average annual snowfall in the region is only one to three inches, and many years there is no measurable amount.
