EV Charging in The Northern Oregon Coast

US-101 along the northern Oregon coast is the Pacific Northwest’s answer to Big Sur: Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Astoria’s working riverfront, the aquarium at Newport, and state-park beaches the whole way — all public, all free.

It drives like a corridor but visits like a destination: short hops, long stops. The beach towns carry the Level 2 for overnights and chowder-length stops, and the smart move is leaving Portland charged — the Coast Range crossing has little in between.

When to go: July–September brings the (relatively) dry weather and the crowds; winter storm-watching is a real season at the headland hotels, with wet-cold range to match.

Why people come here

  • Haystack Rock: a 235-foot sea stack with tide pools and nesting puffins at its base
  • Cannon Beach made National Geographic’s list of the world’s 100 most beautiful places
  • Every inch of Oregon’s beach is public by law — all 363 miles
  • Astoria’s working riverfront, the Column, and the Goonies house up the hill
