They offer a variety of options of skill going from easy to black diamond. We all had an amazing time and will be coming back in the Spring when the zip lines open!

Another great state park that we visited during our stay in Oregon!…read more I don't think I've ever been to a beach that connects directly from the forest. After you pass the freeway bridge, the scenery changes from all green to the sandy ocean. The green scenery reminds me of Yosemite National Park in California, with the walkways and the picnic tables all around. We originally came here in search of starfish because we heard there's a ton of them here on the beach, especially in and around the tide pools. Unfortunately we didn't see any, but I enjoyed visiting overall. There were a ton of people climbing the rocks and fishing. When we noticed that the tide was slowly rising, it was time to get out of there. The water was freezing! Nice little state park. I hope to be back again soon and actually find some starfish next time!

I've driven by here countless times, always on the way to somewhere else. Eventually, we were…read morestaying relatively nearby, and had time to just poke around. Fogarty Creek is a hidden gem - parking is on the inland side of highway 101, and a nicely paved walkway takes visitors alongside the eponymous creek as it makes its way to the Pacific. Because it is physically separate from the main destination, the parking lot has signs warning visitors not to leave valuables in their vehicles. Perhaps good to know if you're daytripping and don't have the option of emptying your car before visiting. We encountered Fogarty Creek towards the end of the day, so we're very much looking forward to a future visit when we can explore further.

This park has the black rock bluff. From the parking area, the trail take you along the top of bluff. It will go through series of special bush plant cover cover tunnel. It is like a maze. Kid will love it. At the end tunnel open the shear cliff face of the rock. It is magnificent. The difference tone color cliff wall make this beautiful coastline. A few things you may want to know. The wind is strong there, if you wear contact lens, you may need to protect your eye with glasses. The top of the cliff can view many miles down the the coastline. There is mystery of the tunnel interconnected, so remember your way back. The trail may take you to other side of the entrance.

Our beach house was only a 5 minute walk to the sand. It was beautiful serenity to be the listening to the waves crashing into the shore and the sea gulls flying over head. The beach was clean and beautiful shells and rocks were scattered through out the sand. We walked along the beach every day to see the sun set on the ocean. My boyfriend & I did sneak a peak at night and because no one was around, the ocean waves were much louder. You can't see the ocean much at night past the waves coming in, so we kept our distance. We did hear 20 minutes in another direction, they found a beached shark.. so we didn't want any surprises at night. Highly recommended for your ocean vacation needs!

We had originally planned to get here early enough to take a whale watching boat tour, but it was so incredibly foggy, we decided to just park and see what we could on the walkway on the main street though town. While a trip out on one of the many boats that leave from here would have been fun, since they all seem to come right near to the shore to see the same whales we were seeing, we saved a few bucks and had a great walk through town instead. There's an informative whale info center, with some great views from their second floor observatory (we even saw a sea lion or two lounging out on the rocks!) along with all the usual gift shops and some pretty good restaurant choices, all in easy walking distance. I'd say go EARLY, both to take the whale watching tours, which seemed to be selling out pretty quickly, in spite of the fog, and to avoid the MUCH larger crowds that seemed to be arriving just as we were heading out around lunch time. Don't let the crowds scare you too much though; it's a great stop and DEFINITELY worth a visit!!

I found it gets the zoomies out of them and that makes for a quiet night, most times. Sometimes you have a small group of littles and they somehow are fueled by the laughter of other kids and seem to possess unlimited energy. We camp closest to the beach. There is no shade there. We bring our own but at night, the stars are like street lights. It's beautiful. The moon at times feels like you could grab it. The ocean will put you to sleep like a Dr.s prescription. It's amazing. All the bathrooms get used a lot because of the amount of people who stay here but they are constantly being cleaned. The showers are a little strange to me but good. Don't try to park an extra vehicle on your spot even if only unloading. The parking is terrible BUT way down the road, on the "Day Use Area" is plenty of parking. Ya, we all hate parking in the D.U.A. They hold cultural events in the D.U.A. We've seen some awesome Native American dancers. They looked super cool. The beach access is at either end of the dune. The beach is clean and the waves aren't that vicious. The shore is nice and shallow. Low tide brings a whole different look to the area with smooth rock surfaces and cobblestones. Of course the ocean is always awesome.

There were park workers cleaning up the landscaping while we were there, as well as some volunteers. Almost completely direct access from the parking lot to the beach. There are many access points, restrooms onsite, and trails to walk. The beach itself is pretty spacious and so while there may be a lot of people, they aren't too close together. Many folks were using the bbq's to grill with charcoal and so it smelled additionally fantastic.
