Lincoln City, OR

Lincoln City is a central Oregon Coast city made from several older beach communities, including Delake near Devils Lake. Its name and layout still reflect that patched-together coastal history, with neighborhoods stretching along Highway 101 between the lake and the Pacific. The city is known for beaches, surf, glass floats, vacation rentals, and storm-watching as much as for year-round services. Lincoln City feels like a working coast town and tourist town at once, with forested hills, ocean weather, and Devils Lake close together.
