What are some of the best beaches in Oregon?
As a coastal state, you better bet we have some amazing beaches. There is such a diverse variety of beaches as well. Here are a few unique beaches in Oregon that we think you'll love:
- Cobble Beach, Newport, OR: What happens to jagged sharp lava rock after 14 million years? It ends up on Cobble Beach smooth as a baby's, well you know what we mean. This fascinating beach near the Yaquina Head Lighthouse is a picture-perfect spot where you can enjoy the gentle sound of waves over time-worn pebbles. You'll also find incredible tide pools teaming with life. The towering sea stacks also draw a crowd - Common Murres are seabirds that live in the area, and they number in the several hundred thousand range!
- Lincoln Beach, Lincoln City, OR: If you are looking for a gorgeous recreational beach in Oregon, Lincoln Beach is one of the best. This incredible seven-mile beach is the longest in Oregon. It is a beachcombers paradise with shells, beach glass, driftwood, and tide pools to enjoy. Lincoln Beach is also a great spot to launch kayaks and paddle boards. And when the tides are just right and the ocean looks like a glowing sheet of glass in the morning sun, get ready for some epic surfing.
- Seaside Beach, Seaside, OR: This North Coast town in Oregon where the Necanicum River forms an estuary at the Columbia River is a clam-tastic spot for collecting razor clams and sand dollars.
