Explore Florence Like a Local

Spend the afternoon browsing galleries and boutiques, enjoying fresh seafood on Bay Street, strolling the picturesque riverfront, exploring Heceta Head Lighthouse, wandering the Oregon Dunes, or discovering miles of beautiful beaches just minutes away. Keep an eye on the river—you may even spot the occasional harbor seal drifting by.

You’ll also find a welcome guide in the apartment filled with many of our favorite local restaurants, beaches, scenic drives, and hidden gems. If you’d like recommendations before or during your stay, we’re always happy to help.
