Food Scene
Food is always good for basics, like breakfast or lunch.
The Wildwood Hotel, a block from Coyote Joe's, has a great cob salad, hamburgers and basic American fare.

Thai Country is my favorite, but there are many good restaurants for dinner half an hour away in McMinnville.

The beach has great seafood restaurants. From J's Fish and Chips in Lincoln City to Tidal Raves in Depoe Bay, the fish is the best!

Maysara Vineyard
The most beautiful vineyard that has award-winning wines in the area. It is halfway between McMinnville and Sheridan just off Highway 18 behind the ex-Lawrence Gallery. The grounds are a photographer's dream and the wine tasting barn is absolutely beautiful. There is even a lake.
Go to all the wineries and taste until you drop. Make sure you have a designated driver, though.
Van Duzer winery, Johan winery, Left Coast winery.
