Learn from the Locals

It is important to learn about what makes the Yachats Village so special. It gives us an understanding of the place we live in or visit. Knowing a community's history, culture, traditions, and natural environment gives us a sense of appreciation and respect for its uniqueness.
Learning about Yachats from the locals allows us to share an insider's perspective and deeper insights about the place.

Preserving that knowledge is crucial to maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the community. It ensures that future generations will also have the opportunity to appreciate and enjoy the charm and uniqueness of “The Gem of the Oregon Coast.”
