“diggers, this park's for you!”
Agate Beach State Recreation Site is a state park between Newport and Agate Beach in Lincoln County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Lying between new and old U.S. Highway 101, the park offers beach access via a path from the parking lot through a tunnel under the old highway. Amenities include restrooms and a place to fish, surf, and dig for razor clams. The site also has picnic tables, and activities on its beach may include kite flying, agate hunting, birdwatching, and photography. Created in 1969 from land bought from the Lincoln County Development Company, the park is open year-round. About 190,000 people visit the park each year.
Agate State Beach Recreation Park is an Oregon state park that stretches between the Columbia River South and the Oregon/California border, in between the new and old Highway 101. It features both sandy beaches and Pacific Northwest rocky shorelines with large agate rocks rising out of the water.
The park is most known for being the best place to dig for razor clams, but there are so many other fun, unique activities to enjoy in the park. Go surfing on the sandy beaches, visit the tidepools, or take a walk along the shores. Go kitesurfing with the family, explore some lighthouses, and end the day with smores around a campfire on the beach.
We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Newport, OR!
