Located along the beautiful Oregon coast, this aquarium offers visitors a rare glimpse into the diverse underwater world.

Beyond the VR experience, the aquarium houses a variety of marine species including octopuses, squid, sea stars, and numerous fish species native to the Pacific Northwest. Interactive exhibits and informative displays highlight the importance of protecting ocean habitats and the mysterious ecosystems beneath the waves. The aquarium is also a great spot for date nights or family outings, combining fun with learning. Visitors can stroll through carefully designed habitats that mimic the natural environments of their aquatic inhabitants, from rocky tide pools to kelp forests. Special programs and events often focus on conservation efforts and offer opportunities to engage with marine biologists and animal care experts. Whether you're fascinated by sharks or want to discover the colorful diversity of ocean life, the Oregon Coast Aquarium provides a memorable and enriching experience that connects you with the beauty and complexity of our oceans.

I spent 10 days roadtripping the states of Oregon and parts of Washington . Of those, we spent a couple of days driving the Oregon Coast, and honestly, it’s one of the most , if not the best, scenic drives in the U.S. I had this on my bucket list for many years and I cant wait to go back.

Tillamook is a great place to visit on the Oregon coast! There are miles of beach to explore! 1. Tunnel Beach: free parking, although busier on the weekend. Walk through a Tunnel and arrive at the beach on the other side. At low-tide it is popular to agate hunt! 2. Rent a cute cabin to stay in

I love the beach! The Oregon coast is a special place for me. The small towns along the Oregon coast have the charm I crave. The water is cold and the sky is beautiful. I can get lost in the waves and calmness. This is a place I want to live one day! #oregoncoast #travel #peace
