About Tokatee Klootchman State Natural Site

Tokatee Klootchman State Natural Site is a state-managed coastal property in Oregon, located near Florence. The park sits just above the Pacific and is promoted for its wide ocean views and as a spot to look for whales. Oregon State Parks describes it as open for day use throughout the year. The site is also known for wildlife, bird, and marine-mammal watching, and it includes a beach. Its land was assembled from two parcels bought from private owners between 1971 and 1975 to protect the shoreline.
