Bob Straub State Park, State park between Nestucca Bay and Pacific Ocean in Pacific City, Oregon.
Bob Straub State Park features a long sandy spit with trails for walking, horseback riding, and beach access along the Nestucca River and Pacific Ocean.
The land was acquired through purchases from private owners, U.S. Government, and State Land Board between 1961 and 1964, with a forest service land exchange in 1966.
The park carries the name of former Oregon Governor Robert Straub, who protected the natural landscape by opposing highway development on the sand spit in 1987.
Visitors with horse trailers must park at the adjacent Pacific City County Boat Launch, which requires a ten dollar parking fee for the facility.
The Nestucca River near the park supports a population of Chinook salmon weighing up to fifty pounds, making it a destination for fishing enthusiasts.
