Lincoln Beach, OR

Lincoln Beach is a quiet coastal community on Oregon's central coast, tucked between the busier hubs of Lincoln City and Depoe Bay. Home to around 2,400 residents, the area includes both the Lincoln Beach and Gleneden Beach neighborhoods along Highway 101. Daily life here revolves around the Pacific, with scenic spots like Salishan Spit and Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site offering wide sandy beaches, coastal trails, and sweeping ocean views.

For families, local schools fall under the Lincoln County School District, and Oregon Coast Community College is within easy reach for higher education. Because the area is primarily residential and relaxed, residents make the short drive along Highway 101 to Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, or Newport for groceries, dining, and jobs. Between neighborhood trails through shore pines and easy access to nearby towns, it offers a peaceful seaside setting that still stays connected to regional conveniences.
