Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site, State recreation area in Tillamook County, Oregon.
Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site stretches along the Pacific Coast as a sandy shoreline bordered by thick coastal plant growth and ocean views. The area provides different zones for swimming, exploring tide pools, and walking along the water's edge.
The site was created through a series of land purchases between 1968 and 1971 that protected this coastal section for public use and outdoor recreation. This transformation set aside the area as a permanent destination for the community.
The beach serves as a gathering point for local producers who connect with visitors and residents through a weekly market held on Saturday mornings during the warmer months. This regular meeting place reflects how the community values both commerce and social connection.
Visitors can find parking areas, picnic spots, and walking trails along the beach and through coastal plant areas. The site is open throughout the year, though conditions and facilities may vary depending on the season.
At low tide, ancient tree stumps from around 2000 years ago become visible, preserved in the beach sand and offering a rare window into the past. These remnants show how much the coastline has shifted and changed over millennia.
