Having beach front access can be a BIG time saver, and it is really fun to leave your hotel or motel room and walk down, or even park your vehicle right on the Oregon beach! If you have pets then search for a pet friendly motel.

The motel or hotel website can give you more information or even call ahead on the reservation line and ask how close they are to the beach. This will save time, money, and if you have kids or animals that LOVE to play in the sand, being close to your motel or hotel room will come in real handy!
