Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge

What a great time of year to explore south Tillamook County and the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge. All year long, wildlife abound in our area, but fall and spring are especially wonderful for birders to view the migrations of an abundance of species.

Once again, Grant McOmie along with Travel Oregon has produced a beautiful and informative video of our unique area. Grant's Getaway features the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge and Little Nestucca River using  Kayak Tillamook which has guided tours for all levels of ability. Never been in a kayak? No worries, Kayak Tillamook will teach you everything you need to know and provide all the equipment.



Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge can also be reached by car. It's located just south of Pacific City off #101 on Christenson Rd. To really appreciate the beauty of the area around Sandlake Country Inn, you need to be able to take your time, get out of your car and get a little physical. After your outing, you can come back to your comfortable room, sooth your tired muscles in your room's jacuzzi tub and maybe even have your dinner delivered to your room.

We look forward to helping you with your adventure!
