Overview

Tierra Del Mar is a small coastal village on Oregon's north coast, between Pacific City and Sand Lake. This spot offers a wild and uncrowded sandy beach, far from tourist bustle. The beach is exposed to North Pacific swells and benefits from northwest thermal winds in summer. The atmosphere is quiet and residential, with direct beach access from the village. It is a spot favored by locals for its calm and relative isolation.
