The Best Oceanfront Restaurants in Lincoln City

Nikki Cleveland

One of the best parts of staying at Sea Gypsy Rentals is that you’re within walking distance or a short drive of some of the best places to eat in Lincoln City. While the Oregon Coast is known for its incredible scenery, there are actually surprisingly few restaurants with true ocean views. Much of Lincoln City’s coastline is lined with hotels, condos, and public beach access rather than beachfront dining.

Fortunately, the oceanfront restaurants that do overlook the Pacific are some of the best in town. Here are our favorites.

1. Kyllo’s Seafood & Grill

If you’re staying at Sea Gypsy Rentals, this should be your first stop. In fact, it’s literally right next door.

Kyllo’s is widely considered to have some of the best ocean views in Lincoln City. Nearly every table looks directly out over the Pacific Ocean, making it the perfect place to enjoy lunch, dinner, or happy hour while watching the waves roll in. The menu features fresh Northwest seafood, steaks, burgers, wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted cocktails, and plenty of local favorites. 

The best part? When you’re finished, it’s only a one-minute walk back to your condo at Sea Gypsy.

Don’t miss:

  • Clam chowder
  • Halibut
  • Dungeness crab when in season
  • Sunset cocktails with an ocean view

2. Fathoms Restaurant & Bar

Located atop the Inn at Spanish Head, Fathoms Restaurant & Bar offers one of the most unique dining experiences on the Oregon Coast. Instead of dining at beach level, you’ll enjoy panoramic views from high above the shoreline, with sweeping vistas that stretch for miles in both directions.

The menu includes fresh seafood, steaks, pasta, and seasonal Northwest dishes. If you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want one of the best views in Lincoln City, Fathoms is worth the short drive from Sea Gypsy. 

3. Chinook’s Seafood Grill

Located inside Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Chinook’s combines fresh coastal cuisine with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. Large windows make it easy to enjoy the scenery while dining on fresh seafood, steaks, burgers, or a hearty breakfast before heading out for the day. 

It’s a great choice if you’re already exploring the north end of Lincoln City or spending some time at the casino.

4. Mo’s Seafood & Chowder – Lincoln City

While Mo’s overlooks Siletz Bay rather than the open ocean, it’s still one of the most scenic waterfront dining spots in Lincoln City. From the dining room, you’ll enjoy beautiful views across the bay toward the Pacific while enjoying one of Oregon’s most iconic bowls of clam chowder. 

Mo’s has been a favorite stop for Oregon Coast visitors for decades and is the perfect place for a casual lunch after exploring the Taft District.
