Lincoln City is the gambling capital of the Oregon coast. The city of roughly 10,000 residents sits on a seven-mile stretch of Pacific beachfront on US-101 and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually — many of them specifically for Chinook Winds Casino Resort, the only full-service casino on the Oregon coast and one of the top tribal casinos in the Pacific Northwest.
Lincoln City is located on US-101 on the central Oregon coast. From Portland (approximately 88 miles), the most direct route is US-26 west to OR-18 west, arriving in Lincoln City from the north. The drive takes approximately 90 minutes to two hours depending on traffic and conditions. Alternatively, take I-5 south to Salem and then OR-22 west over the coast range — this route is similar in distance but avoids the Portland metro.
From Salem (approximately 54 miles), take OR-22 west directly to Lincoln City — about an hour’s drive over the Van Duzer Corridor through Siuslaw National Forest.
There is no commercial air service to Lincoln City. The closest commercial airport is Portland International Airport (PDX). The casino does not operate a scheduled shuttle service from Portland, though motorcoach tours from the Portland area are common during peak seasons — check with local tour operators.
US-101 through Lincoln City can experience heavy traffic during summer weekends and holidays. Arriving before noon or on a weekday avoids the worst congestion.
