About Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site

This state-managed coastal site near the village of Neskowin offers a long, largely untouched beach backed by the Cascade Head headland. Visitors can reach a general store, restaurant, and golf course in town. To the north, Nestucca Bay's lightly developed estuary suits canoeing and kayaking. Several hiking routes start close by, including trails through old-growth Sitka spruce and western hemlock rain forest, one ending at a prairie headland above the Pacific, and another with a waterfall at Hart's Cove. A seasonal farmers market operates in the wayside during summer. The park's land was assembled between 1968 and 1971 through a mix of legal action and private purchases.
