Garibaldi has had many faces over the last century. This picturesque town was originally a Tillamook Indian whaling village, was later explored by such adventurers as Drake, Mears, and Cook, used as a major lumber shipping port, and now a new exploration is just beginning as tourism takes on a different direction in Garibaldi.

Many things have changed since Spanish galleons passed through the harbor. However some very important things have stayed the same. You'll still find world famous fishing in Ghost Hole, every day the tide recedes to reveal fertile clamming ground, and the waters continue to yield some of the best crab ever tasted.

Maybe fishing's not your idea of a vacation? Well, don't fret... Garibaldi won't let you down. Stop by the Memorial Lumberman's Park to step back in time to an era of steam engines and "logging donkeys", visit the Garibaldi Museum for a Tillamook County history lesson (more interesting then any you received in school), or escape to the pier and satisfy your craving for scenery.

Bed and Breakfasts along with a variety of RV parks can accommodate you when you visit Garibaldi and seafood is a requirement if you choose to dine here. And why not?... It's fresh off the boat!

Garibaldi retains the charm of a rustic fishing village and the richness of a history filled community.
