If you have the time I’d take a day exploring the coast south of there. Plenty of places to get out and explore beaches and tide pools. About halfway between Depoe Bay and Newport there’s the Devil’s Punch Bowl and Otter Rock. It’s about 60 miles south of Tillamook and if you get there at low tide there are a lot of tide pools and if you’re adventurous you can go inside the “punch bowl”. About 35 miles further south and you hit Devil’s Churn and Thor’s Well. Really a great area to get out and explore. Just be careful taking selfies at Thor’s Well, people have been known to be washed in by waves while posing. Just below that is Spouting Horn. Really that entire Cape Perpetua area is my favorite spot in Oregon. It also contains the highest point along the coast, 800 feet above sea level. On a clear day visibility is supposedly 70 miles.

My daughter was just at Peter Iredale this morning, and just a small portion of the ship is showing. Bummer, but still a cool area to visit.
I also grew up in that area, so much to see and enjoy.

Be sure to visit Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park, about 15 miles north of Tillamook-- a lot of great photo ops there.

I live only an hour and a half from Tillamook. Been there sooo many times. It is a beautiful valley, surrounded on all sides by the coast range, and of course, the ocean to the west. There are so many incredible rivers around the area, my favorite being the Trask River. There is what used to be a blimp hanger that is used for other purposes, I believe its an airplane museum right now. Not far from the hanger you can very often see hundreds of elk grazing in the fields. Not far from Tillamook is a town called Geribaldi, where there are many photo opportunities. To the south of Tillamook you can go to Pacific City. This is where Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock reside. Beautiful area. The have a beach where the Dory Fishermen launch their fishing boats from the beach. The Oregon Coast is an incredible photo op, from the north to its boundries on the border of California. I hope this helps you. JESS

I haven't been down there in years but if you enjoy photographing wildlife, Sea Lion Caves is an area to explore. Lots of wildlife you don't get to see concentrated together.
