    As of September 6th, 2021 this beach has millions of dead jellyfish all over it. Kind of gross, but also kind of interesting if you've never seen something like that. Otherwise the beach has a short trail down from the parking area which is not too tough except for the beach end of it which has some scrambling to do to get down. Portions of the beach are covered in a maze of rock formations about 5 to 15 ft in height which are interesting to explore. The scenic road bridge can also be seen from the beach, as can Captain Cook point. No restrooms at the Neptune North end of the beach, at least. If this information was helpful, I'd appreciate a quick like or follow. Thank you!

    Nice little beach. Provides a nice walk through tide pool areas. The beach also offers great views of crashing waves onto the rocky shore. A lot of cairns were build around many of the rocky outcroppings. Allowed us the opportunity to escape 95° heat to a welcome 63° breeze. Great place!

    What a sweet spot on the central Oregon coast! There is not a lot of parking available, and the beach is rather small. There is a lot of rocky coast with abundant tide pools. A stream runs by the view point and empties into the ocean. The small cliff face is a geological wonder, showing an ancient river bed, lava flows, and sedimentary sandstone. High tide limits the seaside playground, but low tide opens up a wide swath of sand for the young and old to enjoy. This is not the typical agate beach, but I was able to find a few, which was a surprise. This is a day use area, and there is a pit toilet on site. It was clean, but the "pit" was very ripe with ammonia fumes that burned my eyes and throat. There are 2 picnic tables on site, protected from the ocean breeze by a low hedgerow. All in all, this is a great spot to enjoy the Oregon coast. I highly recommend it.

    We stopped here because it was the first place we saw that had bathrooms. It's a really pretty place though with scenic beach views and a nice creek. It's also really forest-y and is a great place to have a bathroom break and walk around for a little while or even spend an afternoon! The beach was pretty rocky in some spots. I think there was some picnic tables and hiking trails there as well.

    Just gorgeous! What an incredible view! And we saw a pod of grey whales!!! You're able to drive the entire way up and it's an easy trail walk to the overlooks, which is great for a semi-mobile disabled person such as myself.

    I have found some Of my most favorite agates here. There is also some amazing scenery when the waves hit the rocks and sounds like a Tumblr when they go back out to The Ocean.

    Parked on the South side of this natural area. Easy parking even though all the other place's lots were full. Came here to see the animal life in the tide pools which now does not exist for some reason. The tide pools still exist but they are only filled with barnacles, nothing else. The walk on the beach with my husband was lovely and the diversity of nature scape was very Interesting. There is also a little cave to explore.

    Lovely beautiful beach with characters. Long stretch with some big rocks and a creek. The ocean water is cold but the creek is not. It's a perfect beach to enjoy both! Fine soft sand to walk on.

    Gorgeous stop! There's a bridge and a little trail to the fresh water that goes into the ocean. Bathroom, picnic tables, and beach access.
