About This Beach
Cape Blanco State Park beach is a remote, secluded stretch of coastline characterized by its dramatic cliffs, black sand in places, abundant driftwood, and often strong winds. While access may require a steep descent, visitors are frequently rewarded with solitude and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The beach offers opportunities for exploring tide pools, searching for agates, and simply enjoying the raw beauty of the Oregon coast. Facilities like restrooms are located a distance away from the beach itself.
