| Just a few miles outside of Astoria is the shipwreck of the Peter Iredale. |
Astoria is often considered the northernmost town of the Oregon coast, though technically Astoria is located on the Columbia River close to where it enters the ocean rather than on the coast itself. Astoria is an interesting mix of rough around the edges port town and historic collection of Victorian homes. There is a lot to do and see in Astoria and travelers will want to start their Oregon coast vacation in Astoria.
