Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site

The 17.5-acre coastal park features a paved trail descending through shore pine forest to a sandy beach bordered by orange sandstone bluffs.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department acquired the land through multiple purchases from private owners in 1966 and 1967.

Surfers in wetsuits regularly gather at the beach during morning hours to catch waves along the Pacific Ocean coastline.

The park includes picnic areas with tables, public restrooms, and a group shelter equipped with 120-volt electrical outlets.

From the beach, visitors can observe the dark green silhouette of Cascade Head and sea lions at the four-mile Salishan Spit.
