Driftwood Beach State Recreation Site

Driftwood Beach features a wide, flat sandy beach with a mix of hard-packed and soft sand stretching across five miles of coastline.

The recreation site began with 7.70 acres purchased in 1968, followed by an additional 29-acre gift from L. Presley Gill in 1986.

The beach represents Oregon's commitment to providing public spaces where individuals can experience coastal environments through activities like beachcombing and exploration.

Visitors can access facilities including RV parking spots, restrooms, and picnic tables situated among shore pine trees near the parking area.

Winter storms and summer conditions create fluctuating sand levels that affect the visibility of driftwood and the distance of tide recession.
