Our particularly serene slice of coastal Oregon is celebrated for its eclectic shopping, ranging from the open-air Lincoln City Outlets to the many family-owned Highway 101 specialty shops. We recommend stepping inside the Zuhg Life Surf Shop, Winddriven, Robert’s Bookshop, Nelscott House Antiques, and Beachcomber Gifts before sitting down at a local eatery for lunch.
