• Drift Creek / Wakonda Beach — Drift Creek / Wakonda Beach, Wakonda Beach, Oregon

  Drift Creek / Wakonda Beach blends a nautical, rural character with a sense of history and quiet resilience. Homes here are a mix of modest single-family houses and mobile homes, many built in the late 20th century, with a few newer additions. The neighborhood draws retirees, outdoor enthusiasts, and those connected to forestry or fishing traditions. It offers a peaceful, slower-paced lifestyle, with the ocean nearby and a strong sense of community rooted in shared rhythms of work and nature. Vacancies are more common here-some homes are seasonal or vacation retreats-so the neighborhood has a slightly ebbing and flowing character that reflects the tides and tourism seasons.

• Land and Sea / Ocean Hills — Land and Sea / Ocean Hills, Wakonda Beach, Oregon
