Toledo, situated on a bend of the Yaquina River and surrounded by wooded hills, is just seven miles inland from the Central Oregon Coast, the only inland coastal community with a deep water channel. The historic town cascades over the hillsides to the river. Once a bustling mill town, Toledo is known today for antiques, its thriving community of artists living and working in Toledo, world-class skate park, and shops specializing in locally handcrafted gifts.
Toledo is one of the few cities in Oregon which has a downtown on a city street, not on a throughway or highway. Toledo's Main Street retains its historical flavor, the waterfront and fishing vessels visible moored at the end of Main, and the handcrafted tile mural.
When the wind starts to blow on the beach, Toledo is often warm and sunny. The climate is modified by the nearby ocean, but protected from the fog and winds of the coast. Toledo enjoys summer temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees warmer than Newport.
Antique shops, art galleries, gift shops selling the work of local crafters, a glass blowing studio, and restaurants make Toledo an interesting place to visit. Several world class artists make their homes here, taking inspiration from the small town atmosphere and beautiful river, estuary, and rural vistas. Toledo is home to 3600 people and there is a variety of shops and services.
