Canyon Drive Park — Attraction in Lincoln City

This is a park near the ocean. It gives beach access and there are bathrooms close by with a warm water foot wash to clean off the sand from a great day on the beach. It's also one of the starting places to look for floats hidden each day on the beach by the float fairies. The best thing about Canyon Drive Park Beach is the nature-made "pond" between the shore and the ocean. It is small enough that little children can enjoy the beach and the water without exposure to the dangers of the ocean. The pond is only one to 1 and 1/2 feet deep and is a great place for children to use their sand toys and to be in water that is much warmer than the ocean water. It is fed by a freshwater stream. There are several "ponds'' on the seven miles of Lincoln City Beach but they are not always there due to a storm. Luckily they are usually there during the summer. It is a perfect place for grandchildren and children to enjoy the beach. This is one of my favorite places to begin a walk...

Great spot to park for beach activities as it is plopped right on the beach. 2 lots, have about 18 spots total. Could be a bit bigger. Restroom facilities are available. Lots of open beach both to the north and south. The south stretch has a couple cool rocky areas with tide pools during low tide. You'll definitely spot some shells, hermit crabs and other sea creatures there. Past the rocky area the beach is scattered with washed up rock. This is a good place to find agates, sea glass, shells, or just cool rocks. Nice place with less of a crowd than the Lincoln city...

Love love love this place! Parking is limited!! But still worth it! Miles of beach to walk around here and there's a little pool fed by freshwater streams and what is washed in there by high tide so it's a nice temperature brackish water swim hole. It's my daughter's favorite beach. Dog friendly. My dog has been on and off leash here, just pay attention to your dog and...
