Sunset Beach State Recreation Site, State recreation area in Clatsop County, United States.
The recreation site extends over 120 acres along the Pacific Ocean, featuring sandy beaches against a backdrop of coastal cliffs and dunes.
The park marks the west trailhead of the Fort-to-Sea Trail, following the path of Lewis and Clark's winter expedition of 1805-1806.
The site connects to the Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks, preserving the legacy of early American exploration in Oregon.
The park provides 21 paved parking spaces, an information station, and an ADA-accessible boardwalk leading directly to the beach area.
In February 2024, a 46-foot fin whale washed ashore at this location, marking only the second such occurrence in Oregon within 30 years.
