Gleneden Beach State Recreation Area, located on the central Oregon coast near Depoe Bay and Lincoln City, offers a serene and picturesque beach experience. With a large parking lot, picnic tables, and restrooms, visitors can enjoy the sandy beach, surrounded by yellow sandstone cliffs and a unique steep tide line that creates powerful waves that quickly dissipate. Popular among surfers, this hidden gem provides a tranquil escape for beachgoers seeking solitude and natural beauty.
Adjacent to the charming neighborhoods of Gleneden Beach and just a short walk from Lincoln Beach, this state park offers a defacto lookout point where visitors can marvel at the nocturnal surf show by shining their headlights down the cliff. The beach, comprised of coarse sand granules and dotted with dark grains of sand, changes color in fascinating ways. Whether you choose to explore the miles-long stretch of beach to the north or reach the point known as Fishing Rock to the south, Gleneden Beach State Recreation Area promises a memorable coastal experience.
