Beachside State Recreation Site, State recreation site along the Pacific coast in Oregon, United States
Beachside State Recreation Site is a campground situated on the Pacific coast with electrical hookups for about 32 motor homes and tent spaces for about 42 guests. The grounds feature basic facilities and lead directly to wide sandy shores and coastal trails.
The land was acquired in 1944 to give the public access to Big Creek and the shoreline. It was formally established as a state recreation site and renamed in 1957.
The place draws visitors seeking to experience Oregon's coastal lifestyle through activities like kite flying and watching migrating whales offshore. Beach walks and outdoor exploration shape how people spend their days here.
The grounds are open only from spring through fall, requiring advance reservation for specialty lodging options. Hot showers and standard bathroom facilities are available on-site, along with disability-accessible options.
The site sits within traveling distance of three historical lighthouses and tide pools filled with sea life. Nearby science centers and an aquarium make educational exploration part of the coastal visit.
