Bay Street and the surrounding streets are lined with award-winning restaurants, shops and galleries in a setting that dates back to the town’s founding more than 125 years ago. A casual stroll in Old Town can take several hours as people shop for fi ne art, gourmet foods, fun fashions, vintage décor and the best in books. Pull up a chair for fi ne outdoor dining at 1285 Restobar, featuring Italian entrees and appetizers, or Bridgewater Fish House, off ering eclectic seafood and American favorites. Local pubs provide regional fl avors in beer, wine and cider. Plus, there are two coff ee shops, River Roasters by the Siuslaw River Bridge and Old Town Coff ee and Gallery by the Port of Siuslaw Boardwalk. Can’t decide where to stay?

3. Coastal adventures

A favorite destination just north of town on Highway 101 is Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint. Featuring the most-photographed lighthouse in Oregon and a sandy cove perfect for splashing around, Heceta Head is a great place to play catch, relax on the sand, eat a picnic lunch and take a moderate, halfmile hike up to the lighthouse. A day-use parking permit is required.

Heading south from the lighthouse is Sea Lion Caves, a large sea grotto that is home to a year-round colony of Stellar sea lions. An average herd of 200 sea lions occupy the region and can be seen sunning on the rocks. With the cost of admission, people can take an elevator down to a view area inside the cave system. It is a sight, sound and smell not to be missed.

Just outside of Florence is C&M Stables, the local beach and trail horseriding business. The stables off er several options to saddle up and explore local trails or ride along the sand. Riders must be 5 years old or older. For more info, visit www.oregonhorsebackriding.com.
