A short drive from the ocean and dunes, Reedsport traverses a tangled confluence of three rivers that’s surrounded by verdant forests and wildlife. It’s a true Oregon Coast crossroads, for more reasons than one.

We’re proud to support the Oregon Kelp Alliance through Winter Waters ticket sales. The Oregon Kelp Alliance (ORKA) represents diverse interests in kelp forest ecosystems. It includes commercial urchin divers, researchers, managers, conservationists, tribal members, tour guides, sport divers, chefs, and other community members supporting healthy kelp forests. 

Oregon’s wild fisheries and aquaculture operations play a vital role in our local history and culture, as well as provide an important, nutrient-dense protein source for residents and visitors of our region.

Newport hold a special place in the hearts of Winter Waters co-founders Rachelle, Alanna, and Kristen. We’ve hosted events in this coastal town since year 1 of Winter Waters, and we’re excited to continue to grow the series here!

Nestled between the emerald mountains of the Coast Range and the sapphire waters of the mighty Pacific, Port Orford stands alone. 

Eco-conscious visitors return year after year to enjoy wild and scenic rivers, mossy temperate rainforests, world-class fishing, pristine beaches, and the warmth of friendly locals.

Seaside is the kite flying, sand castle making, boogie boarding, ancient forest hiking, grand promenade strolling, Skee-Balling, kayaking, tandem biking, swan boating, sunset picnicking and bumper car-bumping capital of the Oregon Coast! There are all sorts of different ideas of the perfect getaway. Seaside is for all ages and walks of life and offers more than enough for everyone to do.

From Taft to Siletz Bay to the sweeping sands near Cascade Head, Lincoln City is a perfect place to explore, learn, and connect with the coast.
