About Otter Point State Recreation Site

Otter Point State Recreation Site is a day-use coastal park near Gold Beach on Oregon's south coast. Its trails offer walking and hiking with views over the ocean shoreline and unusual sandstone formations shaped by wind and waves. The state acquired the land between 1960 and 1976 to protect ocean frontage and provide public beach access and viewpoints. The park is open for day use throughout the year.
