Secrets of the Season

Final Weekend of Oregon Coast Spring Break Still Has Some Rooms

Ethereal surroundings to be had at Turk's Lodgings (see Cannon Beach below)

(Oregon Coast) – It’s the final weekend of the coast’s spring break season, and it’s still expected to be a big one. Especially on the north coast, in towns like Seaside, many businesses there are bracing for the impact of hordes of Seattleites, along with a portion of tourists from some Oregon school districts and a few colleges.

It’s the last of BeachConnection.net’s lodging availability reports, until the big one on Memorial Day. Some 300 lodgings from Astoria to Florence were contacted, and a decent helping returned the inquiries with some availability. No surprise, the central coast has more, but more north coasters reported back this time around.

As always, call ahead to double check on what is available, as many are reporting rooms are going fast for this coming weekend.
