To take advantage of the scenery, stay at one of the Oregon coast's beachfront hotels that offer ocean views. You'll have easy access to the beach, as well as shopping and dining; nearly all of Oregon's small coastal towns offer historic districts with charming stores and restaurants featuring regional cuisine.

Located just north of Yaquina Bay, the hotel is 1.5 miles from the Oregon Coast Aquarium and just a block north of the quaint Nye Beach shopping area.
