South Beach State Park and the surrounding areas offer a variety of recreational opportunities.
One of the most exciting additions to the program at South Beach: kayak tours. Folks who register for the activity will launch from nearby Ona Beach (5 miles south) and spend two hours exploring the fascinating Beaver Creek area with a guide.
Other activities around the park include fishing, crabbing, boating, windsurfing and beachcombing. Attractions nearby include the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, marine life exhibits at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
These are just a few of the opportunities you will encounter when you visit and explore the central Oregon coast.
Watch a kayak tour through the Beaver Creek wetland.
