Lincoln City, Coastal city in Lincoln County, Oregon, US
Lincoln City is a coastal city in Lincoln County that stretches along several miles of Pacific Ocean shoreline, where sandy beaches meet forested areas. The terrain combines accessible beach sections with nearby hiking paths and remains at low elevation throughout.
The city was formed in 1965 through the merger of five separate communities: Delake, Oceanlake, Taft, Cutler City, and Nelscott. This consolidation unified the coastal area under a single administration.
The Cultural Center hosts year-round programs in visual arts, music, theater, and dance for local residents and visitors. These events take place in a restored 1929 school building that serves as the community's cultural hub.
US Route 101 is the main road running through the city, providing access to beaches, restaurants, shops, and the Chinook Winds Casino. Visitors can easily navigate between different areas since most attractions and services are located along this corridor.
The D River flows from Devils Lake to the Pacific Ocean and is one of the world's shortest rivers, measuring just 120 feet at low tide. This small waterway connects two very different ecosystems over an extremely brief distance.
