Lincoln City
Oregon coast town where kite festivals meet casino lights and endless beaches stretch uninterrupted.
Lincoln City sprawls along seven miles of unbroken sand, where Pacific winds shape both the landscape and the pace of life. The town feels refreshingly unpretentious—part beach resort, part working coast community, where you're as likely to encounter serious kite fliers as weekend casino-goers. Storm watching from heated hotel rooms and beachcombing after high tide define the rhythm here.

- —Storm watchers and wave listeners
