Halloween Glow Float Drop

For Halloween, Lincoln City adds a spooky-season twist to its famous glass-float hunt: 50 special glow-in-the-dark floats are dropped along the beach over the long weekend.

Hunt them by day like the classic floats, or — for the real fun — bring a flashlight at dusk, "charge" the glass in the beam, and watch the floats glow softly against the dark sand. It's an unforgettable treat for kids and a genuinely magical way to spend a fall evening.

Pair the hunt with the coast's cozy Halloween spirit — costumes, small-town trick-or-treating, and stormy-night fires — and you've got a memorable holiday getaway. Staying steps from the beach makes those after-dark glow hunts easy.
