Shore Acres State Park, State park with formal gardens in Coos County, Oregon, United States.
The 745-acre park features landscaped gardens, sandstone cliffs, and ocean viewpoints along the Pacific coast south of Coos Bay.
Louis Simpson, a timber baron, developed this estate in 1910 before selling the property to Oregon State in 1942 for public use.
The gardens incorporate a Japanese lily pond, rose testing areas, and seasonal flower displays that reflect regional horticultural traditions.
Visitors can access the park daily from 8 AM until dusk, with a vehicle entry fee of 5 dollars or valid OPRD parking pass.
The park transforms from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve with illuminated garden displays featuring thousands of lights and decorative sculptures.
