Oceanside Beach State Recreation Site
Oceanside Beach State Recreation Site, State recreation area on the Pacific coast, Oregon.
Oceanside Beach State Recreation Site is a state recreation area on the Pacific coast in Tillamook County. It sits between the ocean and residential homes built on steep slopes.
The land came into public ownership in 1968 through a donation from Orin and Lorraine Rosenburg, including Maxwell Point with its carved tunnel. This gift shaped what the site became.
The beach attracts people who enjoy windsurfing, paragliding, and kite flying, especially when winds are strong. These activities shape the character of the place throughout the year.
The site is accessible year-round without entrance fees and offers parking and restrooms for day-use visits. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather common to coastal areas.
A tunnel carved through the rock at Maxwell Point provides access to a more secluded beach cove beyond it. The tunnel itself is a surprising feature that many visitors do not expect.
