John and I loved our quick trip to Astoria!

It is a charming coastal town rich in history, scenic beauty, and maritime culture. Nestled where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, it offers a perfect mix of food, nature, and fascinating sights for a memorable day trip.

Wander through Astoria’s Riverwalk, a scenic path along the Columbia River. Stop by local shops or take a quick ride on the historic Astoria Riverfront Trolley for a glimpse of the town’s waterfront.

Drive to Fort Stevens State Park, about 20 minutes from downtown Astoria, to see the wreck of the Peter Iredale, a hauntingly beautiful shipwreck from 1906. The rusted remains of the steel ship against the backdrop of the ocean make for a unique and photo-worthy stop.
