Lincoln City is a welcoming Oregon Coast hub with long sandy beaches, tidepools, coastal trails, seafood restaurants, galleries and breweries—an easy, scenic place to unwind between shifts and explore on days off during multi-week contracts.
Nearby Newport (home to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Yaquina Bay) and Salem (the state capital with broader shopping and cultural amenities) provide extra options for errands, weekend variety and larger-city services.
