Revive That Romance: A Sweet Weekend Escape with that Special Someone in Olivia Beach

There are times when you just need to get away from everything and spend some time reconnecting with your special someone. During those times, you just want to find someone to look after the kids, sit the pets, and check on your house. Once you’ve gotten those things checked off your “to-do” list, you’re ready to whisk your significant other away for a weekend of romance and intimacy.

Now the question is, where do you go? Unless you’ve got a lot of disposable income, you probably can’t just hop on a plane and jet off to some exotic locale. Luckily for you, there’s an amazing and picturesque location that’s only a quick road trip away: Olivia Beach.

Olivia Beach, Oregon

Olivia Beach is a gorgeous and quiet beachside community located along the Oregon coastline, and even the journey going there can be the start of your romantic getaway with your partner. Imagine feeling the salty, fresh ocean breeze against your face as you drive along the I-5 highway with your windows down. Along the way, you will pass by rocky coasts, beautiful sandy beaches, and glittering waters. Your final destination would be Olivia Beach!

From the moment you arrive at Olivia Beach, you will feel like you have stepped into a time machine! The gorgeous homes featuring classic Nantucket-style architecture, the quaint playgrounds and green spaces, and the quiet and inviting beaches will make you think that you’ve arrived in bygone eras.

Things to Do Outside

One of the best things about Olivia Beach is that you’ll be hypnotized by the natural beauty and tranquility of the area, and you’ll spend most of your time exploring everything that the area offers. Aside from the amazing beaches where you can swim, surf, and stroll along the sandy shores, there is a multitude of other outdoor activities that you can enjoy. Some of the most popular beaches in the area include D River Beach and Rockaway Beach.

Lincoln City, known as the kite capital of the world, is a great place to spend your romantic weekend. It has an amazing mix of wide spaces and a generally windy climate, making it perfect for a kite flying afternoon or two with your partner. In fact, kite flying is so popular here that there are two festivals dedicated to it! One is held in June and the other is held in October. Lincoln City is so inviting and enjoyable, you might even consider extending your stay there.

Drink and Feast the Night Away

 If you and your partner love trying new local restaurants and bars, then you’re in luck at Olivia Beach. There are so many wineries, breweries, and eateries around that you might even have trouble choosing where to go!

For a long-time crowd favorite, you can visit McMenamins. This restaurant/brewery has branches all over the northwest, with one of the branches found in Lincoln. They have an extensive menu of delicious appetizers and entrees meant for sharing, as well as a selection of beers brewed in-house.

For a more laid-back and fun atmosphere, plan a night to visit The Black Squid Beer House. This bar has Trivia Tuesdays if you want to flex your trivia muscles and impress your partner, and they serve a wide and eclectic mix of spirits and liquors, such as in-house beers, cider, wine, and even mead and Kombucha! However, they don’t serve food, so you may want to get your snacks somewhere else.

Check Out the Local Events

No matter what time of year you plan to visit Olivia Beach, you’ll probably find something exciting and fun to do. Luckily, the Oregon Coast Visitor’s Association has you covered with a comprehensive calendar of activities that you can do throughout the year.

Take a Hike

Since you’re going away with your partner to enjoy some alone time, why not do it while enjoying the beauty of nature up close? There are several natural locations around Olivia Beach that you can enjoy together, such as Drift Creek Trail or Marjal de Pego Natural Park.

If you want to kick things up a notch, you can even rent a mountain bike from popular rental company eXtrem Tracks, and go for an adrenaline-pumping bike ride together!

You can choose from a wide range of rental homes that will fit your needs and budget, whether you’re looking for a home with a pool, a cozy fireplace, or one that’s located right on the beach.
