Curator’s statement
At its heart, travel is about connection — and there’s no better way to celebrate a milestone birthday than by reconnecting with the women who make life special. A girls weekend on the Oregon Coast offers the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure and indulgence, providing a meaningful way to deepen those bonds.
The breathtaking beauty of the coast creates a serene backdrop for laughter and conversation, while walks along the beach and scenic hikes offer a chance to unwind and recharge. Whether it’s savoring local seafood, sipping Oregon wines or toasting friendship with a sunset view, this trip allows for moments of joy and reflection.
For me, as a travel advisor, planning a girls weekend birthday trip to the Oregon Coast isn’t just about the logistics; it’s about curating an experience that brings friends closer, offers time for self-care and creates lasting memories in a stunning setting.
