About This Beach
Pacific City Beach in Oregon offers a diverse experience with a stunning backdrop of a giant sand dune, iconic haystack rock, and breathtaking ocean views. The beach allows for driving on the sand (4WD recommended) and offers a range of activities including surfing, exploring tide pools, and enjoying the views from atop the dune.
