The Community: This beautiful city is an artsy enclave on the Coast with world-class kite festivals draw thousands in the summer. Local glass blowers create distinctive and colorful glass floats, then clandestine float fairies shrewdly hide them along the shoreline for beachcombers. In the midst of beautiful Oregon coastal forests, several nearby hikes are also a thing to behold. Drift Creek Falls features a surprising scene in the middle of the woods: a 100-foot high suspension bridge over a 75-foot waterfall with Drift Creek below. On the edge of the Pacific, the wide-open trails at Cascade Head lead to panoramic views of Lincoln City s coast, as well as Devil s Lake and Cape Foulweather further out. Devil s Lake and Siletz Bay provide large swaths of sheltered, open water for fishing, water sports, and swimming disregarding old folk tales about a sea monster in the lake, of course.
