When it comes to Spring Break in Lincoln City, most visitors have their must-do traditions – watching for migrating whales, keeping a lookout for artisan glass floats hidden along the beach, or simply enjoying the spring temperatures. But what most don't know is that Lincoln City is a hidden gem of experiences, exploration, and adventure just waiting to be discovered.

That’s where Lincoln City’s Adventure Passports come in. These free digital passports help to explore beyond the beach and discover new sides of Lincoln City. Simply sign up, and the selected passports are delivered by text or email, ready to be used instantly, with nothing additional to download. Then check in at the stops along the way and “fill up” the passports to earn points toward rewards. 

There are five Adventure Passports in all – each one designed to highlight a different way of experiencing Lincoln City: the Art Trail, Tap and Brew Trail, Hiking Trails, Vintage Voyage, and Exploriences.

Art Trail

Immerse yourself in the local art scene and track down more than 30 public murals, mosaics, sculptures, and statues across Lincoln City with the Art Trail passport. Each piece tells its own unique story and reflects the city’s creative beach spirit. The passport provides a comprehensive map to each mural with a detailed description of each piece.

Hiking Trails

Explore Lincoln City by foot via the nine trails that make up the Hiking Trails passport. From the spectacular coastal views along the 3-mile loop of The Knoll Hiking Trail to the paved trail at Schooner Creek Discovery Park, the Oregon Coast’s first fully inclusive and accessible park, there’s a trail for every kind of explorer, each one unique and worth every step.

Vintage Voyage

Discover the hipper, quirkier side of Lincoln City with the Vintage Voyage passport. Visit nearly twenty antique and vintage shops to find everything from retro fashion to rare collectibles. It’s the perfect way for thrifters and treasure seekers of all types to discover different kinds of beach finds.

Tap and Brew Trail

For thirsty explorers, there’s the Tap and Brew Trail passport, featuring eight area pubs to enjoy an Oregon pint. In addition to beer, find local wines and crafted cocktails, as well as plenty of food options to pair with your beverage of choice – burgers, chowder, and fresh-caught fish & chips to name a few. And don’t forget a growler to fill up before the trip home.

Exploriences

A series of free, hands-on learning events led by local experts, Exploriences are the perfect way to increase your knowledge and understanding of the surrounding area and ecosystem. Choose from seven Exploriences, from hiking to birdwatching, crabbing to clamming. Upon completion of this passport, users are eligible to join the Explorers Club and redeem their own Explorience glass coin.

With more than 70 combined stops and activities, these passports aren’t something to complete in just a day or two – the perfect excuse to extend your stay or plan a return trip. Whether you’re a regular visitor or discovering Lincoln City for the first time, the Adventure Passports offer new ways to wander, taste, explore, and experience the coast.
