Tillamook

This Tillamook County community is located north of Lincoln City, between Beaver and Garibaldi along Highway 101. The city of Portland is about 1 1/2 hours away to the east along Hwy 6.

Tillamook's lush grasses, nurtured by up to 72 inches of rain a year, sustain the herds that compose Oregon's dairy industry. Much of the county's annual milk production of 25 million gallons is made into natural cheddar cheese.

Tillamook is situated at the shores of Tillamook Bay and the Pacific Ocean, which in turn provides a major recreation center
