Excellent for long beach walks
The beach is wide, long, and clean with plenty of sand for walking and beachcombing for shells and driftwood.
Free parking and clean facilities
Unlike most Oregon state beaches, there is no parking fee, and reviewers praise the well-maintained restrooms and water spigot.
Visit on weekdays for solitude
Reviewers consistently report empty beaches on weekday afternoons, though one mentions it can get packed on weekends.
Stay out of the water
The seafloor drops steeply with unpredictable conditions and strong waves, making water entry risky.
Bring dogs on leash
The beach is very dog-friendly, but keep dogs leashed due to coyotes in the area and existing leash law.
