Gearhart Oregon




Gearhart, the place that I lovingly call home!  A small, quaint town with a New England flavor.  A place where you still feel a calm sense of security far removed from the hustle of the big city.  Building codes restrict the commercial development that threatens our small town charm!  As such, it's small mom & pop ventures that cater to the needs of our visiting tourists. Pop's Ice Cream Parlour is a wonderful example of our small town enterprises enjoyed by both young & old.  Another must see & do is to partake in our annual 4th. of July day town parade, which is a slice out of a Norman Rockwell painting.  There you'll likely find children sporting bikes decked out in patriotic colors, parents pulling their children in wagons decorated to the nines or dogs sporting festive scarfs of red, white & blue.  One year the Gearhart Short Leg Brigade march along with their Corgies!  All culminates with free hot dogs at the local fire station, which is supported by a truly dedicated core of local volunteers with a singular mission, to serve & protect!

For all things Gearhart be sure to bookmark the following website:
