To shop Nehalem, Oregon is to experience shopping at it's best. Nehalem is reminiscent of a "once upon a time" era... complete with false-front buildings and friendly locals An eclectic blend of Antique shops and specialty stores lend a special uniqueness to this venerable town and you may find your sojourn in Nehalem adding some extra days to your itinerary.

When your stomach tells you to take a break from marketing, area cafes, espresso shops, and restaurants will provide a quick bite to eat or a long, leisurely lunch. After lunch, take a walk down to the public dock where the town ducks always appreciate a bit of left over bread crumbs.

As you enjoy the view of the Nehalem River front, keep a look out for passing kayakers who have unmasked an activity that, at one time, was only attempted by the most daring outdoor enthusiast. Now a kayak is a common sight on the local bays and rivers. Also, chances are you will spy a patient person casting his or her line into the river in the hope of landing the fish that will warrant considerable bragging.

However you spend your time in Nehalem, it will be remembered as a distinct part of your Oregon Coast vacation!
