Paradise Point State Recreation Site, State recreation site in Curry County, Oregon, United States
Paradise Point State Recreation Site is a coastal recreation area near Port Orford with roughly 88 acres of land. It features trails for walking, picnic areas, beach sections to explore, and views of the Port Orford Heads rock formation and Cape Blanco lighthouse.
The property came into public hands through multiple land acquisitions by Oregon Parks and Recreation Department spanning from 1958 to 1986. Legal proceedings in the early 1970s helped establish state control over this coastal section for public use.

The surrounding slopes are wooded and the nearest water is the Pacific to the south. The name is the only cultural trace the sources record; no traditions or naming story is documented.
The site is open daily for visitors and you should prepare for changing weather conditions typical of the Oregon coast. Parking areas are located near the viewpoints, making access straightforward for those wanting to walk the trails or explore the beach.
