Below are some great Second Summer events on the Oregon Coast.
It is Second Summer time on the Oregon Coast when the weather is warmer than any other time of the year. Second Summer generally goes from the beginning of September to the middle of October. It is a great time to visit the coast because the largest crowds are gone, lodging prices are lower in most places, and you can enjoy the great weather. Even the water is warmer this time of year.
