🔥 **PLEASE HELP US KEEP OUR COAST SAFE — WILDFIRE DANGER IS HIGH** 🔥

Tillamook County has shared an important reminder for residents and visitors: **Pacific City and Tierra Del Mar and our surrounding coastal communities are currently experiencing HIGH wildfire danger, with extremely high fire-fuel loads.**

Even here on the coast, wildfire is a very real risk. A little extra caution can make a huge difference in protecting our homes, forests, beaches and first responders.

🌲 **PLEASE BE FIRE AWARE**
• Avoid outdoor burning during high-risk conditions.
• Create and maintain defensible space around your home and property.
• Know your evacuation routes and have a “Go Bag” ready.
• Never discard ci******es or anything hot into dry vegetation.
• Avoid parking vehicles on dry grass.
• Pay attention to local fire restrictions and evacuation notices.

🔥 **BEACH BONFIRES — PLEASE USE EXTRA CAUTION**

Beach fires are regulated by Oregon State Parks, and restrictions can change quickly during fire season. **Always check current fire restrictions BEFORE starting a beach fire.**

When beach fires are permitted:

🏖️ Build fires **only on dry, open sand**, well away from beach grass, dunes and driftwood. Tillamook County advises staying at least **50 feet from grass and driftwood**.

🔥 Keep fires small — Oregon State Parks recommends flames stay **below knee height (about 2 feet).**

💧 Keep plenty of water nearby and **never leave a fire unattended.**

🚫 **Do NOT bury a fire with sand.** Sand can insulate hot coals and leave them dangerously hot for days.

💦 When you're finished, **drown the fire completely with water, stir the embers, add more water and make sure everything is cool to the touch before leaving.**

🎆 And remember: **Fireworks are prohibited year-round on Oregon beaches and Oregon State Parks property.**

Our beaches and coastal forests are a huge part of what makes Pacific City and the North Oregon Coast so special. Whether you live here or are visiting us, please help protect them. ❤️🌊🌲

**When in doubt — skip the fire.**

Please share and help spread the word!

Tiny explorer, big adventures. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day weekend from our Cape Escape family to yours. What’s your favorite activity near Pacific City?

One of our favorite spots is “Whalen Island,” located just north of Pacific City near Tierra Del Mar. The Whalen Island Loop is an easy 1.4 mile hike that’s perfect for little feet and family adventures. The flat scenic trail winds through coastal forest, sandy beaches, and salt marshes with beautiful views of the Sand Lake Estuary.

It’s one of those simple places where kids can explore freely, parents can slow down, and the sweetest memories seem to happen naturally.
