As the day gently wanes on the Oregon Coast, there's no greater delight than settling in to watch a breathtaking sunset and basking in the glow as it lights up the vast expanse of our Pacific ocean. Here in Lincoln City, we have seven miles of beautiful sandy beach, more than any other Oregon coastal town. Which means there’s plenty of opportunity to find your perfect spot on the beach, savor the salty ocean air, and experience the wonder of a picture perfect sunset. If you have your own beautiful sunset photo from Lincoln City, tag us at #explorelincolncity for a chance to have your photo or video featured on our feed 😍 📸 @cindyryan04 #explorelincolncity #lincolncityOR #oregoncoast #pnw #traveloregon #oregoncoastlife #oregoncoastadventures

Did you know that our “Finders Keepers” Float Fairies sneak onto our seven miles of public beach every day, hiding handcrafted glass floats along the way? Try your luck from Roads End on the north to Siletz Bay on the south. Each year, more than 3,000 glass treasures made by local artisans are hidden along our beautiful beach. If you find a float, it’s all yours. 📣 Here are some important Rules of the Hunt: 🎯 Limit: one float per household, per year. If you've already found a float this year, please leave the float for some other lucky person to discover. But feel free to take a pic before you move on. ⛱️ Floats can be found above the high tide line and below the beach embankment. 🌤️ Floats are placed on the beach during daylight hours only. ⏳ Floats are hidden throughout the day, not all at once. 📆 Floats are out there every day rain or shine. On rare occasions, weather and ocean conditions can create unsafe situations. Official notice of any cancellations will be made on our social media channels and website. 💚 Be mindful and respectful of the environment when hunting. If you do find a float, follow the instructions on the float to register your treasure. You’ll receive a Certificate of Authenticity, as well as information about the artist who crafted your float. Happy hunting! 📸 @kayrina27 | Instagram #explorelincolncity #lincolncityOR #finderskeepers #finderskeepersLC #oregoncoast #oregoncoastlife #oregoncoastline #glassfloats #beachtreasures #beachcombing
