Have you ever wondered where to go to find some of the best fishing on the coast? Nehalem is a great place to fish, live, wind surf, kyak, canoe, and just breathe. Enjoy clam digging, hiking, and camping here, too. Nehalem is located in the heart of Tillamook's north county only about 1.5 from the some of the cleanest beaches in North America. You will find it a small, friendly community that delights in visitors. This friendly community welcomes people with open arms.
Nehalem is located between Wheeler and Manzanita Oregon right on the 101 coast highway. The single blinking stop and caution light in the middle of town can be confusing for travelers since to continue on the coast highway you must turn up the hill, if going North.
Nehalem is named for the Indian tribes that made their living on this bountiful land. There is so much history here. The Nehalem River is the county's widest river.
When we had our floods in 1996, the town had quite a lot of water in the area by the Nehalem river. Merlin Brown, lifelong resident of Nehalem and at that time - city manager, worked hard to get the grants to raise every building along this part of Highway 101. Many owe Nehalem's success to this man, no longer with us.
The fine restaurants and shops in Nehalem make this little fishing village a must. Nehalem's tiny phone company serves all of the residents of north county. They provide a fine Internet service to the local north residents. These services often seem to far surpass the "big" guys.
Don't miss the Duck Derbies, the Arts Festival, or the Canoe Races.
