Philomath is a charming town at the base of the Coast Range. It is one of two towns along the Corvallis-to-the-Coast Trail, and it's a good place for a break during your hike as it has several restaurants and cafés.

Brian Booth State Park has two main areas: Ona Beach and Beaver Creek State Natural Area. Here, you can explore miles of trails, fish, birdwatch, and if you're brave enough to jump into the freezing Pacific, it's a nice place for a swim!
