More Than Just the Awesome Beach Near Beach Condo Rentals

When you come to the Oregon coast, the seven miles of sandy beaches aren’t the only reason to book beach rentals. Lincoln City, Oregon has one of the best strands of sandy beach on the west coast. But that long beach on the Pacific is joined by other awesome aquatic opportunities to the north, south, and east. So when you book vacation house rentals in Lincoln City, Oregon, you’ll have lots of watery options.

To the south is Siletz Bay. A short drive from plenty of excellent beach condo rentals, Siletz Bay takes in the fresh water coming down the Siletz River. It is separated from the wide open Pacific by a narrow spit, and it is teeming with wildlife. Visitor have many opportunities to see shore birds, wading birds, perhaps some salmon, and many other forms of wildlife. Guided kayak tours of Siletz Bay bring the adventurer even closer to much that is inaccessible overland.

Siletz Bay is also great for clamming and fishing, according to all ordinances that help conserve the delicate ecosystem. But the rangers at the Siletz Bay National Widlife Refuge stand ready and willing to answer your questions and get you pointed in the right direction. The first step, of course, is getting there. Which means staying at beach house rentals in Lincoln City, Oregon.

Another great place for kayaking, watching wildlife, and other aquatic activities is Devil’s Lake. Devil’s Lake is to the east of Lincoln City, Oregon, and it empties into the Pacific through the very short D River. Like Siletz Bay, it is teeming with life and full of opportunities for freshwater fun. Kayaking, paddling, fishing, and other boating activities are very popular at Devil’s Lake. Devil’s Lake State Recreation Area has great trails for hiking and biking, and some of the trails lead to places where you can get a great view of the Lake and the Ocean — perhaps even to see some whales!

The third great place to kayak and experience aquatic fun that isn’t affected by ocean winds and waves is the Salmon River Estuary. This one is to the north, but still fairly near most Lincoln City, Oregon lodging. The Salmon River is a narrow channel for most of its run, but it widens considerably for a stretch before narrowing again to empty into the Pacific. This forms almost a lake, but it has all of the benefits of being a freshwater river flowing by. Fishing, boating, and hiking around the estuary will bring some unforgettable memories. 

Of course, the Pacific Ocean has its many opportunities to offer. Learn to surf. Watch for whales. Find shells or glass floats. Or just walk along the seven miles of sandy beach. Find your favorite thing to do, and find it close to Oregon beach rentals!

There are lots of things to do in Lincoln City, Oregon, including aquatic activities that do not involve the ocean! So take the first step: book Oregon coast vacation rentals and come stay near Lincoln City, Oregon!

Originally developed to aid those confined to wheel chairs, mobi mats also aid those who have difficulty walking in sand, and those who use walking aids like crutches or walkers. 

Mobi mats are made entirely of recycled material, aiding sustainability and our efforts to be environmentally conscious. They are made of polyester, and are thus resistant to damage from sea water. They are six and a half feet wide, and they ride over the sand, supporting the person walking or rolling along from sinking into the sand and possibly stumbling.

So if you or a loved one staying with you in one of the beach vacation rentals near Lincoln City, Oregon have mobility issues, the beach is now more accessible than ever!

Of course, one need not have mobility challenges to take advantage of the mobi mats. Everyone is invited to use them to get way out onto the beach, closer to the water. The mats go out pretty far from the end of the boardwalk or parking lot, and then a second strip goes left and right a little ways from the end of it to help beach goers spread out a bit.

And the beaches are a big reason to come and stay in one of the great beach condo rentals in Lincoln City, Oregon. Sea shells, beautiful stones and rocks, the breeze, the calming sound of the surf, the beautiful sunsets, the glass floats, plus kites darting too and fro — all are ready to welcome you.
