City advice
Getting around
Taxi Service
If you need to use a taxi service, I highly recommend Yellow Cab....they are reliable, trustworthy, professional and nearby. You can call them at 541-267-3111, book & pay through their Yellow Cab app, or find them online at www.yellowcabcoosbay.com .
What to pack
Visiting the Beach
Visiting the beach is a year-round activity!
WHAT TO BRING - I always bring a sweatshirt, beach towel , and a bottle of water with me no matter what time of year it is. You just never know!
SUMMER MONTHS (July-August)- During the summer we get a late afternoon wind (it's cold!) so if you are planning beach activities, I recommend you go earlier in the day. By 2-3 pm the wind comes up.
WINTER MONTHS - The ocean is a magnificent sight in the winter! But, please, please, please be cautious of the high tidal waves that come crashing in. Watch them from a distance.
