We've compiled the best of the best in Yachats - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
This funky, convivial restaurant with affordable, basic overnight accommodations on the upper floor is a reliable bet for all three meals of the day; it's also great for watching live music below a ceiling full of umbrellas, with views of the Yachats River and ocean. Family-friendly and lively, the Drift Inn features fresh razor clams, halibut fish-and-chips, juicy steaks, wood-fired pizzas, and other well-prepared American fare.
Sustainable, line-caught wild seafood—including albacore, cod, halibut, and, when in season, Dungeness crab—straight from the owner's boat is the draw at this festive weathered restaurant with colorful indoor and outdoor seating areas. Fish-and-chips of all stripes, including clam and salmon, are served, but the fish tacos and a sinful dish called slumgullion—clam chowder baked with cheese and bay shrimp—are the most popular choices. You can also buy fresh fish to go. There's a second location 15 miles up U.S. 101 in Seal Rock.
