Otter Point State Recreation Site

The Beach Hideaway On The Oregon Trail

Come experience majestic views, great hikes and spectacular sunsets from the flat, sandy beaches at Otter Point State Recreation Site. Located just 3 miles north of Gold Beach and the mouth of the Rogue River, Otter Point is a wonderful small state park with much to offer those seeking to experience the beauty of nature and outdoor adventures at the same time.

With two almost hidden beaches and a spectacularly carved sandstone point, you can hike, fish, whale watch and even take your dog on a walk in the "unleashed" area of the beach. Driftwood, beach grass covered dunes and several small creeks mark these wild and practically untouched Oregon beaches, making a visit to them the perfect addition to your vacation plans.
