Wheeler Marina

Directions Website

Wheeler Marina Your fishing headquarters in North Tillamook County for 47 years. We are right in the center of Wheeler with plenty of services to make your stay enjoyable.

Wheeler Marina is located just south of Nehalem on US101 in the historic town of Wheeler, Oregon. We have kayaks, canoes, SUPs and fishing boats for rent. We sell fishing/crabbing licenses and tackle and have a crab cooker with lots of friendly advice on what to see & how to do it. Our location places you where the bay narrows and the Nehalem river begins. Hang a right turn where the water meets our dock and you can explore one of Oregon’s largest and most scenic rivers. On the North Fork of the Nehalem you may see elk, eagles, herons, and the curious seal or two. Make a left turn at the water's edge and you enter the Nehalem Bay where you will find the finest crabbing around, more than a mile of state park waterfront on the bay, and sand flats that are visited by a large variety of our feathered friends. Or troll for Chinook Salmon during the summer and fall runs. In the 42 years we’ve owned and operated the marina, we’ve seen many a salmon caught directly in front of our docks.

Fisherman Friday 🎣

Crabbing is a classic Tillamook Coast experience that’s fun to plan around, especially as we head toward the months that end in “r.”

Tillamook Bay, Nehalem Bay, and Netarts Bay all offer opportunities to crab, with local marinas where visitors can rent boats and gear, pick up bait, and get pointed in the right direction.

A few places to know:
👉 Garibaldi Marina in Garibaldi
👉 Kelly's Brighton Marina in Nehalem
👉 Jetty Fishery Marina & RV Park in Rockaway Beach
👉 Wheeler Marina in Wheeler

Fall and winter are often considered some of the best times for Dungeness crab, but crabbing can be enjoyed throughout the year in the right areas.

Before you go, be sure to check current Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations, confirm where crabbing is open, and make sure you have the proper license.

Here are a few of the great catches coming through our docks. Hope to see you all out on the water this Labor Day weeken...
