Agate Beach State Recreation Site, State park beach in Newport, United States
The 18-acre recreation site features a wide sandy beach accessible through a tunnel underneath Highway 101, connecting visitors to the Pacific Ocean.
The Lincoln County Development Company sold the land to establish Agate Beach State Recreation Site in 1969, creating a permanent public access point.
Local residents and tourists gather at this beach throughout the year to practice traditional activities such as razor clam digging and agate collecting.
The recreation site maintains restroom facilities, picnic areas, and a large parking lot that accommodates vehicles with trailers for day-use activities.
Beneath the old Highway 101, a pedestrian tunnel leads directly to the beach, providing safe passage for visitors carrying surfboards and beach equipment.
