Neptune Beach

Three miles south of Yachats is a turnoff for this lovely beach. Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint makes up 4 turnoffs from Hwy 101, and this particular one is Neptune Beach. After you park, take the stairway down the cliff and onto the beach. It starts as cobblestone, and turns into fine, soft sand. To the right is Cummins Creek and a gorgeous cove with a picturesque bridge over it. To the left is rugged and stunning coastline. There are so many ways to spend your time here, including picnicking, whale watching, windsurfing, and during low tide, hiking to the south to explore a natural cave and tide pools.
