Hug Point State Recreation Site

The 43-acre coastal park features sandstone cliffs with natural caves, a seasonal waterfall, and a sandy beach facing the Pacific Ocean.

The site earned its name from stagecoaches that had to navigate tightly around the point during low tide in the late nineteenth century.

The Oregon Coast Trail traverses through the recreation site, connecting visitors to a network of coastal paths used for generations.

Visitors can access restrooms, parking facilities, and a walkway leading to the beach, with tide monitoring essential for safe exploration.

The recreation site marked a milestone in American ornithology as the location of the first Blue rock thrush sighting in the United States in 2024.
