Bob Straub State Park, State park between Nestucca Bay and Pacific Ocean in Pacific City, Oregon.

Bob Straub State Park covers 484 acres on the Nestucca Sand Spit, a peninsula south of Pacific City that is about three kilometers long and up to 800 meters wide. The spit is covered with sand dunes and shrubs, with the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Nestucca River to the east.

The park land was acquired between 1961 and 1964, and the park was enlarged in 1966. It was first called Nestucca Spit State Park. In 1987 it was renamed for Robert W. Straub, Oregon governor from 1975 to 1979 and an environmentalist.

The park was renamed in 1987 for Robert W. Straub, Oregon governor from 1975 to 1979 and an environmentalist. It had been called Nestucca Spit State Park since its land was acquired between 1961 and 1964. The spit itself is a narrow peninsula about three kilometres long and up to 800 metres wide, covered in sand dunes and shrubs.

The park is free to enter. A picnic area and restrooms stand by the parking lot, and several riding and walking trails cross the dunes and shrubs of the spit. The white, flat beach faces the Pacific, while the Nestucca River side is known for king salmon fishing.

The Nestucca River is considered one of Oregon's best spots for king salmon, and anglers fish it from the park's shore. Across the water, sections of the far bank belong to the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge, which protects the only coastal population of Dusky Canada geese.
