As we traveled from the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse past the Fisherman's Memorial we stumbled upon this very nice and quiet beach. You can see Yaquina Head in the far distance and a beauiful beach spans the horizon. There is a beach just before the steep path down to the beach where you can just sit and take in the beauty....

This is a nice place to access the beach just south of Nye Beach. It's a bit of a steep climb down, particularly at the bottom, but once you're on the beach you can walk all the way to the jetty.

I love to just park in the lot or beside the road and look at the view. You can see the lighthouse and most of the beach. Beautiful views. Easy trail to the beach and right in the middle of town. Love it.

Panoramic view area with a glass enclosed building for when the weather is not so dry. Parking is easy and a family friendly place.

The Vietnam War Veterans' Memorial is especially touching. Great Nye Beach access, and cliff-side whale watching, too.

This is a popular park for both locals and visitors alike. Many of the tourists park in the lot (it has space for about 30 cars) and head down to the beach. The locals tend to sit in their cars, eating lunch, chatting on the phone or just watching the waves. I've done the latter many times, but this visit... More
