South Beach State Park

Situated next to the Yaquina Bay Bridge, South Beach State Park begins in south Newport and stretches several miles down the Oregon coast. This historic park offers a variety of recreational opportunities.

The paved jetty trail provides a perfect place to jog or ride a bicycle. Forgot your bike? The Hospitality Center rents out bikes daily during the summer months.

Our equestrian trail to the beach begins at the South Jetty equestrian trailhead. Park next to the trailhead and enjoy a beautiful sunset by horseback!

A playground area and horse-shoe pits are also provided within the campground area. Interested in plants? Stop by the Hospitality Center for a self-lead native plant hike brochure, a fun hike for all ages!

We also offer interpretive programs, guided hikes, and JR Ranger activities every day throughout the summer months. Check out the "events" calendar on our website for a detailed program schedule.
