This coastal town appears mostly residential from the exterior, but it has some true hidden treasures that traveling families won’t want to miss. Try a new trend in vacation athleticism by renting recumbent bikes you pedal on train tracks. Twins Ranch Rail Riders offer a 12.6-mile tour that takes approximately two hours to pedal. Savor the sights, smells and sounds of the countryside from the vantage point of your rail bike.
Before diving into your day, rev your engines with a morning hike at the Kilchis River Reserve. You’ll encounter flora, wildlife, Native history and a pioneer settlement. Jerky lovers will want to examine the selections at Tillamook Country Smoker and might take home a two-foot-long pepperoni stick.
Where to stay: The Sheltered Nook (tiny homes completely furnished).
Where to eat: Fish Peddler.
