Gleneden Beach
is a residential community tucked between the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Siletz Bay on the other side. It is home to an upscale resort, an 18-hole golf course and many high-end shops and boutiques. The town of Gleneden Beach is part of Lincoln County, Oregon and is located along Highway 101 between the towns of Salishan Beach and Lincoln Beach. This beautiful area of the Oregon coast has much to offer. You can shop for antiques in the many shops and galleries located right along the coast on Highway 101, go to wine tastings in Lincoln City or visit one of the oldest glass blowing studios in Oregon. For outdoor recreation, there’s surfing, windsurfing and sailing at the beach or at nearby Devil’s Lake, also swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, crabbing and whale watching. Beach activities are, of course, popular at Gleneden Beach and include agate hunting, exploring tidepools, shelling, kite flying and sandcastle building. Fishing is another popular sport in the Gleneden Beach area, whether at the beach or the nearby rivers and Siletz Bay. Trout, perch, large mouth bass or catfish cab be found on Devil’s Lake, or chinook and trout on the Siletz and Salmon Rivers. For a truly unique adventure, visit Gleneden Beach in the wintertime when storm watching is a spectacular sight.

Gleneden Beach Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The Pacific Ocean is the single most influencing factor on the climate along the central coast of Oregon. Because of the normal movement of air masses from west to east, most of the systems moving across Oregon have been extensively modified while traveling over the ocean, or they dissipate completely before reaching dry land. This also keeps temperatures at a moderate level all year long. However, the unlimited supply of moisture available to those air masses is largely responsible for the abundant rainfall over western Oregon and in the higher elevations. Also, beginning near and following the coastline, is the Coast Range Mountains, which also exerts an important influence on the climate. This range forces the air to rise as it moves eastward and the resulting cooling and condisation produces some of the heaviest annual rainfalls in the U.S. along the higher western slopes.
