About Yachats State Recreation Area
This small-town park offers sweeping ocean views just a short stroll from central Yachats along Ocean View Road. A viewing platform provides easy access to watch for whales and storm-driven waves. On calmer days, a steep path leads down to the rocky intertidal zone, where low tide reveals crevices and tide pools teeming with marine life. Visitors are advised to pick up a tide table in town to plan exploration around optimal low-tide times.
