Bullards Beach State Park, State park on Oregon's southern coast, United States.
Bullards Beach State Park is a coastal reserve on Oregon's southern shore featuring sandy dunes, beaches, wetlands, and a historic lighthouse near the Coquille River mouth. The park protects a wide range of natural landscapes that support different ecosystems and outdoor activities.
A lighthouse was built near the river mouth in the late 1800s to guide vessels safely through the coastal waters. The structure was later decommissioned but remains an important landmark in the park today.
Robert Bullard, one of the area's first settlers, established a store and post office at the Coquille River mouth, operating a ferry service.
The park offers diverse accommodation options ranging from campsites with utility hookups to small overnight cabins in different categories. Visitors should prepare for coastal weather conditions and bring gear suitable for trail walking and beach activities.
A dedicated horse camp with corrals allows equestrian visitors to explore extended trail networks and ride along the sandy shoreline. This facility attracts riders who want to combine trail and beach experiences during their visit.
