Discover the Ultimate Beachcombing Adventure—Led by Local Expert Laura Joki!
Join me for a private small-group Beachcombing Adventure in Lincoln City, Oregon... part science, part scavenger hunt, and all unforgettable. This 2-hour guided field experience combines beach treasure hunting with an in-depth exploration of Oregon Coast geology, fossil discovery, coastal processes, and the forces that shape the beaches we explore today... all with Rock Your World's own science educator, geology communicator, licensed guide, and lifelong beachcomber, Laura Joki.
This is our most in-depth beach experience and is designed for curious visitors who want to understand not only what they're finding... but why it's here.

🗓️ More Dates Possible Coming Throughout 2026!
This is our premium beachcombing experience and is only offered when beachcombing and rockhounding conditions are ideal. Traditionally, the best conditions occur during winter and early spring when waves expose gravel deposits, fossils, and other geological features hidden beneath the sand.
Because beach conditions constantly change, additional dates may become available at any time of year when conditions align.
We'll be adding more tour dates as beach conditions allow. To be the first to know, follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter... you'll get early access, behind-the-scenes updates, and insider-only offers.
