The beach on the north coast of Oregon is a remarkable treasure that promises an unforgettable experience. Whether you prefer to drive along the sandy stretch or leisurely walk, the beach is a perfect destination for everyone. You can bond with your loved ones over a campfire as you bask in the breathtaking sunset. Personally, I frequent this beach three to four times a week to take my furry friends for a refreshing run.

This beach is fantastic, boasting a lengthy coastline perfect for hiking. It's easily accessible by car, and you can relax in front of the ocean with all the necessary amenities. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color and very fine.

This spot on the Oregon coast is the best I've ever been to! The sand is golden and fine, and you can even drive on the beach. There's also a nice trail to explore, and convenient bathroom facilities. I could easily spend a whole day here, and even stay into the evening if I build a fire (which is allowed!). Plus, it's dog friendly!

This beach may not be the most extraordinary one in the vicinity, but it holds its own charm. The journey to reach it is a refreshing change and offers a pleasant experience. Adequate parking space is available, which is always a plus. Additionally, there is a fascinating trail named Sea Trail, located at a separate parking area, which has washrooms nearby.
