Pacific City has been known for over a hundred years as a quaint fishing village and vacation destination located in a very unique and special geographical and geological area. Rarely does one see a large river (The Big Nestucca) so close to the ocean shoreline merging with another large river (The Little Nestucca) creating an estuary and habitat for so many of natures species. Then throw in a small lake stuffed with trout (Town Lake), a spectacular cape (Cape Kiwanda), a pristine beach that you can drive on (Pacific City Beach), a very unique sand spit (Bob Straub Park), one of the most fascinating geological formations off the west coast (Haystack or "Chief Kiawanda" Rock).
