Laid back life style – away from the big city, but still a vital community all year long with a stunning architecture reminiscing of San Francisco; Victorian houses (you will be vacationing in one ) – rich history, proximity to a magnificent body of water – the great Columbia; really close drive to beaches – 15 min to Fort Stevens, 20 minutes to Cannon Beach – you can drive every day to another beach and come back home to relax.
Astoria (at the mouth of the Columbia) is known for its restaurants, festivals, shopping and antiquing. Astoria (and its surroundings) has a wonderful balance between man and nature.
