Surftides Lincoln City Hotel sits directly on the sand along Oregon's central coast, with the Pacific Ocean and a wide public beach just steps from its doors. The property traces back to 1936, when the original Surftides apartments opened on the same stretch of shoreline, and it has been owned and maintained by the Cho family since 1979. Recent updates bring a contemporary take on the coastal experience while preserving the hotel's decades of history. The hotel's private events program hosts weddings, family reunions, and business conferences across indoor and outdoor spaces, all with direct beach access. The Melville Banquet Hall accommodates up to 165 guests and can host anything from intimate weddings to meetings, while the smaller Hemmingway Media Center suits meetings and gatherings of up to 50. An outdoor courtyard with a fire pit and picnic tables extends the celebration outside, steps from the water. Full catering is available through MIST Restaurant and Lounge, and event spaces come with A/V equipment, dedicated restrooms, and a private entrance.

Salishan Coastal Lodge sits between the forested bluffs of the Oregon Coastal Range and Siletz Bay, just off the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway in Gleneden Beach. Developer John Gray began assembling the property in 1961, and the lodge opened in 1965 as one of the Pacific Northwest's original destination resorts, designed by architect John Storrs with locally sourced woods and natural light to blend into the surrounding coastal forest. Today the lodge offers more than 16,000 square feet of indoor event space alongside outdoor venues like the Event Lawn and Terrace Patio, with rooms ranging from the Long House Ballroom to smaller gathering spaces such as the Cedar Tree Room and Gallery Room — suited to everything from intimate ceremonies to large-scale receptions and conferences. Couples and groups can pair their event with the resort's private beach access, a championship 18-hole golf course, and a full-service spa. On-site dining draws on local farm partnerships, with options ranging from The Attic's craft cocktails and seasonal dishes to Provisions Market's all-day fare, plus customizable group catering for receptions and celebrations. As part of the SCP Hotels collection, Salishan Coastal Lodge also carries forward its Every Stay Does Good program, supporting community and environmental initiatives with each stay.

Drift Creek Camp sits along a mountain stream in Oregon's Coastal Range, surrounded by old-growth Spruce and Hemlock and within reach of Drift Creek Falls. Operating under a U.S. Forest Service special-use permit, the camp opens its grounds to retreats, family reunions, work teams, and youth groups in addition to its longtime programs like the Women's Retreat and Fall Quilt Retreat. At the center of the property is the Lodge, a classic A-frame built in 1966 with a stone fireplace, dining area, kitchen, and a mezzanine-level chapel that seats up to 100. Groups can also book five creekside cabins, a yurt, and the self-contained Yamhill Cabin, which is heated year-round and wheelchair accessible. Outdoor gathering spots include an amphitheater, a fireside circle, playing fields, and a 12-hole disc golf course, along with a swimming hole and archery range for recreation between sessions. The camp maintains an alcohol-free, smoke-free, and pet-free campus, and its rental options allow small groups to book just a cabin or the Lodge's third floor rather than the full property.
