This stunning beach is an absolute paradise! The parking is abundant and complimentary, making it easy to access. There's an abundance of treasures to be found while scavenging along the shore. Conveniently located on the premises are clean and well-maintained restrooms. Additionally, the beach is dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot for pet owners to enjoy quality time with their furry companions. As an Eastcoaster, I am overjoyed with my experience here!

This shoreline is a stunning location to take a leisurely stroll. It is conveniently situated, with effortless access to the beach restrooms and designated picnic areas. A perfect spot for a family day out by the sea.

The beach is a splendid destination, with ample parking space and a considerably lower crowd than the ones situated in the city. The picnic spots are delightful, and one can spot rabbits and relish blackberries that are in season. During high tide, we witnessed numerous surfers catching waves, and one individual was jumping waves while boogie-boarding (in a wetsuit). The waves were colossal and a sight to behold.

During our vacation, my spouse and I are residing in a delightful Air BnB beach house. The beach is perfect for leisurely strolls and is never too crowded, as it is situated a mere 7-10 minutes outside of Lincoln City. It's a breeze to drive into town from here, and even when the town is bustling with activities like the kite festival or the casino's anniversary firework show, the beach remains tranquil. We're planning to test our luck at fishing in the ocean tomorrow.

The beach is a stunning and pristine destination. One can admire the beach from different cliff sides, but erosion has caused a reduction in access points. Unfortunately, I did not come across any wheelchair accessible entry to the beach in the main park area. However, there is a lovely expanse of green grass that offers a picturesque view of the beach. It is a perfect spot for children and dogs to frolic and play.
