Tide Pooling & Marine Life Viewing at Bob Creek and Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint Area
Best during July low tides
July often brings some of the year's best daytime tide-pooling opportunities. Between Yachats and Heceta Head you'll find sea stars, anemones, crabs, and other marine life exposed during low tides. Local Oregon Coast visitors frequently recommend Bob Creek, located between Yachats and Florence, as one of the better tide-pooling locations in this stretch.
Historic Old Town Florence Summer Activities
July is peak season in Florence's Old Town district, with art galleries, waterfront dining, shopping, and regularly scheduled community events. Check the city's July calendar before your trip for concerts, exhibits, and special summer programming.
