Florence is a small oceanfront city on the central coast of Oregon, about sixty miles due west of Eugene. Historically one of Oregon’s countless lumber towns, Florence today is a major destination for tourism, boasting a picturesque combination of lush forests, beautiful ocean scenery, and abundant preserved buildings. Old Town Florence serves as the most popular area for locals to congregate, with a boardwalk overlooking the Siuslaw River and several first-class restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to the surrounding forests and mountains, particularly the Sweet Creek Trail just to the east.
