Yachats State Recreation Area

The park sits where the Yachats River joins the Pacific Ocean, featuring rocky shores, tide pools and diverse marine ecosystems.

The recreation area expanded through multiple land acquisitions between 1928 and 1986, combining purchases from private owners and gifts from Lincoln County.

The name derives from indigenous language indicating the location at mountain base, reflecting the deep connection between land and original inhabitants.

Visitors can access tide pools during low tide, observe migrating whales, enjoy fishing opportunities and utilize numerous picnic tables throughout the grounds.

The park contains essential fish spawning sand formations along its shoreline, contributing to the preservation of local marine species populations.
