The Local Feel

Netarts is quiet, slow, and centered on the bay. The community is small and the pace is dictated by the tides. It feels like a secret place where the bay is the main attraction and crowds are a distant memory.

Netarts

Welcome to Netarts

Netarts is a quiet coastal community on the shores of Netarts Bay, one of the most productive and pristine estuaries on the Oregon Coast.

The entire community centers around the bay — crabbing, clamming, kayaking, and watching the abundant birdlife are the main activities here.

Netarts has no commercial district to speak of, just a handful of homes, vacation rentals, and the Netarts Bay Store for essentials.

The community feels separate from the tourist crowds of Tillamook and the nearby beaches.

The Netarts spit separates the bay from the open ocean, providing a barrier beach that offers solitude and dramatic views of Cape Lookout.

Homes in Netarts range from modest bay cottages to newer homes with bay views.

About 100 minutes to Portland, 15 minutes to Tillamook, 5 minutes to Oceanside. Located on the south side of Netarts Bay along the Three Capes Scenic Drive.
