About Garibaldi Oregon

Welcome to Garibaldi, "Oregon's Authentic Fishing Village." Nestled at the northern entrance of Tillamook Bay, this historic maritime community offers a genuine slice of coastal life where the rhythm of the tides still dictates the day. Unlike more polished tourist destinations, Garibaldi retains its hardworking, salty charm, serving as the gateway to some of the best fishing, crabbing, and clamming on the Pacific Northwest coast. The town is dominated by the iconic 900-foot Port of Garibaldi pier and the historic "big G" on the hillside, a landmark guiding mariners since the 1920s. Visitors can watch commercial trawlers unload their daily catch, embark on deep-sea fishing charters, or hop aboard the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad for a nostalgic steam train ride along the bay. Whether you're exploring the maritime museum, kayaking the calm waters of the estuary, or simply enjoying the freshest seafood straight from the docks, Garibaldi offers an unpretentious and deeply memorable coastal adventure.

Explore the beauty and history of the Central Coast.
