At a crossroads, continue straight on McKay Road for 3.4 miles.
At the T-junction with Highway 219, turn right, and proceed 3.1 miles, crossing the Willamette River.
Turn left onto the Newberg/Dundee Bypass, and go 4.2 miles.
Bear right at the merge with Highway 99W, and drive another 3.2 miles.
Then turn left onto Highway 18 for Dayton and the Oregon Coast. Keep on Highway 18 for 52.1 miles.
Before Highway 101, there’s a junction where cars going north peel off to the right for Neskowin and Tillamook. Drive 0.7 more miles and merge with Highway 101 South.
Drive 69.1 miles through Lincoln City and then Newport, crossing the Yaquina Bay Bridge to pass through the communities of Seal Rock, Waldport, and Yachats as well as the turnoff for Cape Perpetua.
