A place for everything

Nelscott Beach is abundant with beaches, unique local businesses and beachside homes.

"You're a hop, skip and a jump to the coast, Devil's Lake and Lincoln City," says The Real Estate Box Realtor Michelle Barnes, who has sold four homes in Nelscott Beach. "It's a small, niche community that's like a little village because it's secluded and right outside town." Whether it’s a refreshing dip in the Pacific Ocean, beachcombing, trying a new restaurant or hunting for secondhand treasures, Nelscott Beach has a spot for it all.
