March marks the “beginning of the end” of the off-season in Pacific City. The combination of Daylight Savings Time (Monday, March 10), the First Day of Spring (Tuesday, March 19), and Spring Break (March 25-29) inspires more visitors to the Oregon Coast. This will be my last official “Off Season Guide” blog until November.
If this is the first time you’ve stumbled on my blog, The Pacific City Local – Welcome! I’m glad you found it. There is plenty more great content geared toward full-time residents to come. You can subscribe to receive each article in your email inbox. Or, follow along on Facebook and Instagram.
