Historic Old Town Florence

Historic Old Town Florence is one of the most beautiful and charming of the many Oregon coast cities. Located on the waterfront below Highway 101's Siuslaw River Bridge, this uncrowded district is the perfect place to spend time exploring art galleries, antique stores, gift and specialty shops, wine tasting and restaurants serving regional foods and wines. Old Town features activities that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Wander along the Siuslaw River while enjoying ice cream or espresso and watch artisans at work. Take a river cruise on an old fashioned sternwheeler and see the sand dunes, lush forests, river wildlife and a cormorant rookery. The area surrounding Florence offers dozens of activities. Visit the most photographed lighthouse in the United States, go horseback riding along the beach, golfing or rent a dune buggy to explore the magnificent Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Whale Watching, tidepooling, deep sea or fresh water fishing, hiking, bird watching, crabbing, and clamming are just a few of the many local activities. After a busy day of shopping, golfing or exploring the area's many attractions enjoy a dinner and a movie or dance to live music in Historic Old Town Florence.
