Latest reviews on Oregon's beaches

Salishan Beach

10 Mack Hinton

Fantastic morning walk. Plenty of dog enthusiasts around, though I wish they would clean up after their three greyhounds—I saw it. Excellent location for agate hunting during low tide. The sand cliffs resemble the Grand Canyon. Had a wonderful day watching harbor seals across the breachway.

Fogarty Creek Beach

10 Tiana

Undoubtedly a concealed treasure! The access to the beach is effortless and the restrooms are conveniently located near the parking area. I stumbled upon some agates on the shore and was surrounded by a diverse group of beach enthusiasts. The beachgoers consisted of mature couples and families, all of whom were displaying courteous behavior.

Diamond Beach

10 Larissa Duvall

We stumbled upon another beautiful beach in Oregon. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it was ideal. There were hardly any other beachgoers, so we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Our furry friends had a blast and even took a dip in the chilly ocean waters. The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning views in every direction and a small creek that flowed into the ocean. Additionally, there's a playground in the parking lot area.

Pelican Beach

6 Kieran Holt

This is a great spot if you're looking for some solitude. It's also perfect for catching a breathtaking sunset on a lovely evening.

Ocean Way Beach

10 Serena Delgado

This beach is truly magnificent! The stunning beauty of the sandy shore and crystal-clear waters will leave you in awe. The picturesque scenery is breathtaking and the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day in the sun. You won't be disappointed by the sheer splendor of this beach.

Whaleshead Beach

10 Natalie Delgado

The warning sign at the entrance of the beach advises that a 4-wheel drive vehicle is preferred, and I strongly agree. Although we managed to drive down to the beach in a 2-wheel drive SUV, we ended up kicking up some rocks along the way. Despite the windy weather, the beach was breathtakingly beautiful. The Whaleshead creek flows into the ocean at this location and carves through the beach's black sand, creating an awe-inspiring visual effect. The hiking trails are delightful, and there are well-maintained picnic tables available at the parking area. If you can safely make it down to this beach, it's definitely worth the trip!
