The Astoria Column offers an amazing 360 degree view of our beautiful town! You have the opportunity to take great pictures from the parking lot or from the top of the column. There is gift shop available, in which you can purchase small airplanes that can be thrown off from the top of the column! Lots of fun for families and individuals!
There is a $5.00 parking fee, and no cost to go up the column.
This is on of our favorite coffee shops in town! It has great tasting coffee and a great breakfast and dinner menu. For those big into photography and instagram pictures, this place has great atmosphere and awesome spots for pictures! Astoria Coffee House and Bistro is one of Liam's favorite places to go, and they have great food as well! Many of the coffee shops are within walking distance of the downtown area.
Highly recommend stopping at this popular Fish & Chips place!! They have some of the best fish and chips in town, and theyre located on a small ship in downtown Astoria. Again, this a place has great food and a good opportunity for pictures!
The only downside is the line to this place can get very long, especially during the summer time... It is honestly worth the wait-- super yummy!!
Fort Stevens was once the primary military defense installation in the three-fort, Harbor Defense System at the mouth of the Columbia River (along with Forts Canby and Columbia in Washington). The fort saw service for 84 years, from the Civil War to World War II. Today, Fort Stevens has grown into a 4,300 acre park offering exploration of history, nature, and many recreational opportunities.
This place is neat to explore and right on the beach for you to explore!
Explore the shipwreck while walking along the beach! Great spot for pictures, and absolutely gorgeous to watch the sunset! This is one our favorite places to go!
This small town is about 45 minutes (without traffic) from Astoria, and it is so much fun to explore! The beach here is gorgeous, and this is where you will find the famous Haystack Rock.
