Information

Park on the north side, walk under the bridge then prepare because it's not sand... Small pebbles makeup this beach, hard on the feet but great to make them soft!

Loved this place except from the parking lot take the path that is North, or you'll end up needing to walk through a small, shallow creek (hence the name) to get to the ocean. Near the rocks on the South end of the beach there is clay. The sand at the beach every where is coarse and hurt my feet after awhile; but it also made my feet soft from walking on it. There was not much wildlife but there was tons of agate rocks. All different sizes and we spent a long time looking through rocks and feeling clay.

The Beautiful Beach on one side and a park and the woods on the other side. Beautiful ! Restrooms too! Lots of picnic tables and covered areas. Very well maintanced. Lodging and restaurants nearby. Lots of parking. One of my favorite spots here in Depoe Bay. On my recent visit to the park, by the ocean part, I SAW A WHALE !!! When you see water shooting in the air, watch for the whale to surface. She played for a bit. I also saw seals in front of me playing. Its was another beautiful day at my favorite park!
