Astoria

Astoria is located northwest of Portland, between Warrenton and Clatskanie along US Hwy 30. It lies near the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River. Astoria has been a city of discovery since the exploration of the area by Captain Robert Gray in 1792, and Lewis and Clark in 1805.

One can enjoy exploring Astoria today. See dozens of historical points within minutes of downtown. Astoria offers other interesting discoveries, such as historic Victorian homes, the beautiful 4.1 mile-long Astoria-Megler Bridge, cruise ships, and fishing charters offering the thrill of landing salmon, sturgeon, or crab. Shuttle service to Portland International Airport is provided by Bay Shuttle. Other attractions include Sandcastle Days, Miss Oregon Scholarship Pageant, Stormy Weather Arts Festival, Seaside Volleyball Tournament, and the Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast runs.

There also is an Astoria, Illinois.
