There are times when you just
need to get away from everything and spend some time reconnecting with your special someone.
During those times, you just want to find someone to look after the kids, sit
the pets, and check on your house. Once you’ve gotten those things checked off
your “to-do” list, you’re ready to whisk your significant other away for a
weekend of romance and intimacy.
Now the question is, where do
you go? Unless you’ve got a lot of disposable income, you probably can’t just
hop on a plane and jet off to some exotic locale. Luckily for you, there’s an
amazing and picturesque location that’s only a quick road trip away: Olivia
Beach.
Olivia
Beach, Oregon
Olivia Beach is a gorgeous and
quiet beachside community located along the Oregon coastline, and even the journey
going there can be the start of your romantic getaway with your partner.
Imagine feeling the salty, fresh ocean breeze against your face as you drive
along the I-5 highway with your windows down. Along the way, you will pass by
rocky coasts, beautiful sandy beaches, and glittering waters. Your final
destination would be Olivia Beach!
From the moment you arrive at
Olivia Beach, you will feel like you have stepped into a time machine! The
gorgeous homes featuring classic Nantucket-style architecture, the quaint
playgrounds and green spaces, and the quiet and inviting beaches will make you
think that you’ve arrived in bygone eras.
Things
to Do Outside
One of the best things about
Olivia Beach is that you’ll be hypnotized by the natural beauty and tranquility
of the area, and you’ll spend most of your time exploring everything that the
area offers. Aside from the amazing beaches where you can swim, surf, and
stroll along the sandy shores, there is a multitude of other outdoor activities
that you can enjoy. Some of the most popular beaches in the area include D
River Beach and Rockaway Beach.
Lincoln City, known as the kite
capital of the world, is a great place to spend your romantic weekend. It has
an amazing mix of wide spaces and a generally windy climate, making it perfect
for a kite flying afternoon or two with your partner. In fact, kite flying is
so popular here that there are two festivals dedicated to it! One is held in
June and the other is held in October. Lincoln City is so inviting and enjoyable,
you might even consider extending your stay there.
Drink
and Feast the Night Away
If you and your partner love trying new local
restaurants and bars, then you’re in luck at Olivia Beach. There are so many
wineries, breweries, and eateries around that you might even have trouble
choosing where to go!
For a long-time crowd favorite,
you can visit McMenamins. This restaurant/brewery has branches all over the
northwest, with one of the branches found in Lincoln. They have an extensive
menu of delicious appetizers and entrees meant for sharing, as well as a
selection of beers brewed in-house.
For a more laid-back and fun
atmosphere, plan a night to visit The Black Squid Beer House. This bar has
Trivia Tuesdays if you want to flex your trivia muscles and impress your
partner, and they serve a wide and eclectic mix of spirits and liquors, such as
in-house beers, cider, wine, and even mead and Kombucha! However, they don’t
serve food, so you may want to get your snacks somewhere else.
Check
Out the Local Events
No matter what time of year you
plan to visit Olivia Beach, you’ll probably find something exciting and fun to
do. Luckily, the Oregon Coast Visitor’s Association has you covered with a
comprehensive calendar of activities that you can do throughout
the year.
Take a
Hike
Since you’re going away with
your partner to enjoy some alone time, why not do it while enjoying the beauty
of nature up close? There are several natural locations around Olivia Beach
that you can enjoy together, such as Drift Creek Trail or Marjal de Pego
Natural Park.
If you want to kick things up a
notch, you can even rent a mountain bike from popular rental company eXtrem
Tracks, and go for an adrenaline-pumping bike ride together!
Where
Should We Stay?
There are many lodging options
that you can choose from in Olivia Beach, but if you really want to experience
living like a local, check out Sweet Haven Rentals. You
can choose from a wide range of rental homes that will fit your needs and
budget, whether you’re looking for a home with a pool, a cozy fireplace, or one
that’s located right on the beach.
