2 Best Sights in The Oregon Coast, Oregon

The views from the parking areas, oceanfront trails, and beaches at this popular tract of craggy rock formations and evergreen forest are some of the prettiest along the southern Oregon Coast. The proximity to downtown Brookings makes this an easy place to head for morning beachcombing or a sunset stroll. You might see gray whales migrate in spring and winter. Just offshore, Bird Island, also called Goat Island, is a National Wildlife Sanctuary and a breeding site for rare birds. The campground here, with tent and RV sites, is very popular.

Some fine hiking trails, one leading to a hidden redwood grove, along with a nice selection of campsites, make up this park a little inland from Brookings. There's also a grove of myrtlewood trees, which you'll find only in southwest Oregon and northern California.
