Agate Beach State Recreation Site

Agate Beach State Recreation Site is a coastal state park featuring a wide sandy beach with direct access to the Pacific Ocean. The space includes picnic areas and a large parking lot capable of accommodating trailers for day visitors.

The Lincoln County Development Company facilitated the sale of land in 1969 to establish this public beach facility. Its creation secured permanent public access to the coastal shoreline for the community.

The beach brings together locals and visitors who gather to hunt for agates and dig razor clams in the sand. These activities shape how people experience and connect with this coastal area throughout the seasons.

A pedestrian tunnel beneath Highway 101 provides safe passage to the beach for those carrying surfboards and gear. Restroom facilities and picnic areas are available throughout the site, making it convenient for day trips.

An underground tunnel running beneath Highway 101 connects visitors directly to the shore, offering a path across without crossing the road above. This route proves especially convenient for surfers and those bringing beach gear.
