FAT-TIRE BIKING Lincoln City is home to more than 7 miles (11.2 km) of sandy beaches that provide the perfect backdrop for fat-tire biking. Rugged fat-tire bikes come equipped with extra-wide tires that won’t sink into wet sand and offer traction on all kinds of terrain. Start by renting your bike or signing up for a guided tour through the family-owned Safari Town Surf Shop. From there, begin your ride at the mostly flat Roads End State Recreation Site or the bustling Taft Waterfront Park at the northern edge of Siletz Bay. Then enjoy the salty air whipping through your hair, the ocean waves at your side, gulls soaring overhead and craggy headlands on the horizon. GOLFING Spend a day on the links at one of two golf courses around Lincoln City. In northern Lincoln City, the 18-hole Chinook Winds Golf Resort heads through old-growth forests, passes wetlands and offers enough water features to keep even the most experienced golfers guessing. At the southern edge of Siletz Bay, Salishan Golf Links works its natural surroundings into 18 exciting holes. You’ll play fast-moving fairways that afford occasional ocean views, navigate strategically placed sand traps, and wind through a towering forest of spruce and fir.
