When to Go
Bob Straub is open throughout the year, but if you want to do a lot of hiking or horseback riding, you’re best off planning your visit in July or August, when temperatures are warm and the likelihood of rain is low. Summer is also ideal for sunsets at this west-facing beach. If you’re coming to fish, autumn is a popular time, particularly if it’s Chinook salmon you’re after.
Know Before You Go
- Visitors with horse trailers are required to park at the Pacific City County Boat Launch, adjacent to the park.
- Many trails are used by hikers and riders alike, so hikers should yield to horses. To avoid frightening horses, don't make any sudden loud noises or movements in their presence.
- Fishing licenses are required and can be obtained through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. There are limits on how many fish you can catch and during which season.
- The nearest supermarkets and gas stations are in Pacific City, about a mile away.
Bob Straub State Park
Spend the day fishing, horseback riding, or simply strolling at this compact coastal park.
Situated on a coastal spit between Nestucca Bay and the Pacific Ocean, Bob Straub State Park attracts hikers, beachcombers, anglers, and equestrians with its quiet, sandy shores and easy access to the Nestucca River, known for its Chinook salmon. Along with a stretch of ocean beach, the park offers a handful of pedestrian and horse trails that range in length from a half-mile to almost 2.5 miles. While the park is only open for day use, plenty of camping areas sit nearby.
