In the sunny, warmer months, Yachats comes alive with the vibrant energy of the Oregon Coast. Markets and art shows pop up, local shops and restaurants bustle with activity, and the beach fills with people savoring the season’s beauty. The best way to truly experience Yachats in the summer? On foot.
Skip the car, grab a jacket, and stroll into town from your cozy stay—whether it’s a hotel, bed and breakfast or welcoming hotel or resort. The historic 804 Trail offers an easy walk along the rocky coastline, stretching from the northern edge of town right into the heart of the village. Coming from the South? Yachats Ocean Road connects you to the iconic bridge and into town via Highway 101. Even day-trippers can park in town and explore the sights up close, soaking in the charm of Yachats at every turn.
Once you’re here, the possibilities are endless. Visit galleries and shops featuring local artists and makers, enjoy a meal crafted from the freshest coastal flavors, and cap off your evening with live music or a sweet treat from Toppers. For a quieter moment, explore the wooden boardwalks of our protected wetlands, where birdwatching and peaceful views invite you to pause and connect with nature.
From May through September, the Sunday Farmers Market offers an abundance of fresh produce, flowers, fungi, and handmade goods—perfect for filling your reusable bag with treasures. And don’t miss the whimsy of the La De Da Parade on July 4th, followed by fireworks over the Yachats River to close the day.
Wherever your feet lead you in Yachats, you’ll find beauty, charm, and memories waiting at every step.
