Pacific City is a great destination for a girls’ weekend when the goal is to relax, reconnect, and spend plenty of time by the ocean. You can build a full weekend around good food, beach walks, spa treatments, scenic drives, and quiet evenings together.
Staying in our Cape Kiwanda vacation rentals gives your group a comfortable home base with room to gather between outings. Here is one way to plan a memorable weekend on the Oregon Coast.
Start the Weekend with Coffee and Breakfast
Kick off your first morning with coffee and breakfast before heading outdoors. Stimulus Coffee + Bakery is close to Cape Kiwanda and serves coffee, espresso drinks, pastries, and other quick bites. The Grateful Bread Bakery & Restaurant is another local favorite for a relaxed sit-down breakfast.
Starting slowly gives everyone time to catch up and map out the day. It also leaves plenty of energy for the outdoor activities ahead.
Spend the Day at Cape Kiwanda
Cape Kiwanda is an essential stop during a Pacific City getaway. Spend time walking along the beach, watching the waves, taking group photos, or simply enjoying the view of Haystack Rock.
For groups searching for things to do near Cape Kiwanda, a beach day is one of the easiest options to add to the itinerary. Keep in mind that the Oregon Coast can be unpredictable, so dress in layers and always respect posted safety signs and barriers.
Treat Yourselves to a Spa Day
A spa appointment adds some dedicated relaxation time to the weekend. Tidepools Spa at Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa offers massages and facial treatments inspired by the coastal setting. Treatments are available to visitors as well as lodge guests, and advance reservations are recommended.
Blue Wellness Studio is another Pacific City option offering personalized skincare treatments and therapeutic massage. Booking treatments ahead of your trip is a smart move, especially if several friends want appointments around the same time.
Grab Drinks and Dinner in Pacific City
Trying a few restaurants in Pacific City gives your group a chance to experience the community beyond the beach. For an evening out, consider these two local favorites.
Pelican Brewing Company
Pelican Brewing Company’s Pacific City brewpub pairs casual food and locally brewed beer with beachfront views. The original Pelican location looks toward Haystack Rock and offers indoor dining plus weather-dependent patio seating. It is a fun choice for groups that want a laid-back meal after spending the afternoon outside.
The Riverhouse
The Riverhouse Nestucca focuses on seasonal seafood, spirits, and dinner service in Pacific City. Reservations are recommended, making it worth planning this meal before your weekend begins. A leisurely dinner here is a good fit for a night when your group wants to slow down, order a few courses, and enjoy more time together.
Plan a Scenic Oregon Coast Adventure
Save part of the weekend for exploring beyond Pacific City. A scenic outing adds variety to the trip and gives you a chance to see more of the dramatic coastline, forests, and small communities that make this part of Oregon special.
Explore the Three Capes Scenic Route
The Three Capes area connects Pacific City with coastal scenery around Cape Kiwanda, Cape Lookout, and Cape Meares. It is an excellent direction to head for sightseeing, photography, beach stops, and hiking. Road conditions and closures can affect the traditional route, so check current conditions before leaving. ODOT provides updated travel information for the area.
Enjoy a Relaxing Night at Your Vacation Rental
Not every part of a girls’ trip needs a reservation. After a full day, head back to your rental for snacks, drinks, games, movies, or a long evening of conversation. A night in can be just as memorable as exploring the many things to do in Pacific City. Pick up local treats, put on a playlist, and enjoy having a private space where nobody needs to rush out the door.
Final Thoughts
The perfect girls’ weekend in Pacific City can be as active or relaxed as your group wants. Start with breakfast, enjoy Cape Kiwanda, schedule a spa treatment, share a great dinner, and set aside time for a scenic coastal adventure.
A vacation rental makes it easier to keep everyone together throughout the trip. Book your stay early, especially for popular weekends, and start building an Oregon Coast getaway everyone can look forward to.
