Nehalem Bay at the mouth of the Nehalem River on the Pacific Ocean

Nehalem Bay is a bay formed by the confluence of the Nehalem River into the Pacific Ocean in northern Oregon.

The town of Nehalem (pop. 250) is situated on US Highway 101 between Garibaldi in the south and Cannon Beach in the north.

West of the bay, Nehalem Bay State Park is located on the sandspit separating the bay from the ocean, where elk, coyotes, and several species of birds live. The park offers a popular sandy beach.
