Oregon Coast Restaurants Open for Thanksgiving

(Oregon Coast) – There are a surprising number of eateries open for the big turkey devouring day along Oregon's coastline. With a sizable helping of inland residents and tourists making the beach a part of their holiday tradition, and of course plenty of locals who just don’t want to mess with the oven, it makes sense that many of the coastal restaurants stick around to serve the hungry hordes.

This list is not all-inclusive, and covers Astoria down to Yachats (nearly the entire upper half of the coast). Not everyone reported back when BeachConnection.net sent out word of this list. There are likely more than listed here. Still, it proves most towns along the coast have quite a bit going on for the holiday.
