Lincoln City has plenty of waterfront, including alongside the ocean, a bay, a lake, rivers, estuaries, and streams. Explore miles of sandy oceanfront beach, and go kayaking in Devils Lake or clamming in Siletz Bay. There’s plenty to keep you busy once your feet hit the sand — fly a kite, enjoy the warmth of a beachside fire, discover tide pools, or take in the sunset. Thanks to the landmark 1967 Oregon Beach Bill, Lincoln City beaches — like all of Oregon’s coastline — are entirely public. BEACH & WATER On the Sandy Shore Access the Beach Build a Beach Fire It doesn’t get much better than huddling around a fire at dusk, as the stars rise over the ocean. Fires are allowed on Lincoln City beaches during certain times of the year — check for local regulations. Always adhere to best practices to ensure safety and responsibility. Beach fires must be small and contained, around two feet by two feet. As the wind might scatter embers that can spark fires, don’t set up a fire near beach grass and driftwood. Build on dry sand, away from incoming tides and sneaker waves. Come prepared to put out your fire with water; never cover it with sand, as doing so can create a hazard for other visitors. With all precautions in place, take in the crash of the waves, the whirl of woodsmoke, and the warmth of your fire.
