Oregon Coast Lodging Availability for Seafood Wine and Birding Weekend
(Newport,
Oregon) – All of the central Oregon coast will be hopping this weekend
between the frenetic activity of the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival
and the Birding and Blues Festival in Pacific City. The two towns are
a good hour’s drive from each other, but both festivals are bringing
in so many people that neighboring towns are getting filled up with the
overload.
The vast majority of Newport hotels, motels, B&B’s vacation rentals and inn’s are reporting 100 percent occupancy so far – or expected to be maxed out – for this weekend that turns a town of 10,000 into a city of 30,000. Depoe Bay, about 20 minutes away, has not reported any openings to BeachConnection.net, and it typically takes much of the spillover from Newport.
A1 Beach Rentals, Lincoln City. Perfect for large family vacations all the way down to a getaway lodging for two - with over 25 vacation rental homes to choose from. A breathtaking collection of craftsman or traditional beachfront homes, or oceanview houses – from one to seven bedrooms. In various areas of Lincoln City and overlooking the beach, with some in Depoe Bay. All kinds of amenities are available, like hot tubs, decks, BBQ, rock fireplaces, beamed ceilings and more. Some are new, some are historic charmers. Lincoln City, Oregon. 1-(503)-232-5984. www.a1beachrentals.com. |
Yachats, about 30 minutes south of Newport, also frequently takes many who can’t find rooms in Waldport or Newport. Yachats has reported a few openings still.
Lincoln City sits in the middle of it all, about a half hour drive to either Pacific City or Newport. The town usually takes a good deal of overnighters from the Seafood & Wine Festival. Since the Birding & Blues Festival has greatly increased in size in recent years, it is expected to completely fill up not only Pacific City but Neskowin and many rooms in Lincoln City as well.

| Pacific City goes to the birds this weekend |
Still, two places in Pacific City reported some openings.
BeachConnection.net contacted most lodgings in Pacific City, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Newport, Waldport and Yachats and received vacancy reports from a few. Mostly, Lincoln City has the openings, which comes in handy since it will likely get crowds from two cities’ celebrations.
Make sure you call these lodgings ahead of time to double check their availability, as conditions will change quickly.
