 The Inn at Cape Kiwanda is a boutique ocean-view hotel in the heart of the Oregon Coast. Just across the street from Cape Kiwanda State Park, the Inn at Cape Kiwanda is close to all the action in Pacific City, Oregon. Guests enjoy taking our beach cruiser bikes around town and enjoying the several dining and shopping options in the area. You’ll help families enjoy hikes and trails, share with them where to go for a round of golf or maybe you are best at giving the surf report every morning. Whatever your enthusiasm for this beautiful area is; you’ll find that our Inn at Cape Kiwanda offers a true escape from the everyday.


Pacific City is off the beaten path on a relatively undiscovered stretch of the majestic Oregon Coast. Cape Kiwanda, in Pacific City, enjoys a storied connection to the ocean, local rivers, beachfront and majestic outdoor playground. Surfing, kayaking, hiking, photography, beachcombing, and fishing are just some of the outdoor activities enjoyed in this beautiful beach town.
