What to Do in Pacific City
As the beach is the main attraction for visitors to the Oregon Coast, the beach at Pacific City offers an excellent, pristine, expanse of sand beach. Located just across the road from the Inn at Cape Kiwanda is a beach access site that allows for motor vehicles on the beach and has a large parking area. Just to the north lies a huge sand cliff where adventurous visitors can run or slide down.
The Cape Kiwanda area is an excellent place to hike, photograph Haystack Rock, go beachcombing, view crashing waves and sea life or even watch surfers catch a wave. Pacific City hosts an annual long board surfing competition. When the surf is right, surfers call Pacific City a favorite surf spot. The Dory Fleet can also be seen launching their boats from the beach.
Guests at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda can purchase bags of bunny food at the gift shop to feed the beach bunnies roaming around the inn grounds. The bunnies are tame and will eat right out of a hand, if food is offered. The beach bunnies can be fun to watch as they play or just rest in the grass.
