Oswald West State Park
Enjoy forest hikes, ocean views, and surf breaks at this coastal park.
Lush forest trails and sweeping headlands lead the way to cliff-top lookout points and sandy shores in the Oswald West State Park. Beach-goers can head straight to Short Sand Beach—or ‘Shorty’s’ as it’s known to locals—to hit the surf, stroll the secluded sands, or explore the tidepools. Hikers have miles of trails to explore, too, including a 13-mile section of the Oregon Coast Trail. Hike to Blumenthal Falls, admire the views from Neahkahnie Mountain and Cape Falcon, or enjoy bird-watching along Short Sand Creek. There’s no camping in the park, but campers have options along the coast.
