Fogarty Creek State Recreation Area — Attraction in Lincoln City

First off the actual park (where you park your car) is beautiful. It's in the woods. There is a creek running through it with multiple bridges. I actually saw a couple taking their engagement photos on one of the bridges. You walk under the main road. 101, Then there is the beach. It's so beautiful. Absolutely one of the most amazing tide pool spots I have ever been to. Thousands of starfish, sea anemones, urchins, and so much more. There actually were not as many people there as some of the other beaches. Which was really nice. The beach itself was clean. I saw people with little bonfires. The cliffs behind you (away from the ocean) are breathtaking. Huge with water coming down in some spots. My family and I were there for about 4 to 5 hours while the tide was going out. One bad thing is there was no running water in the park to wash yourself off. There is a spigot,but no water comes out. There are public restrooms. No showers that I saw. I would 100% recommend going...

Fogarty Creek State Park is very clean and well maintained. The picnic tables have seen some wear but are in fair condition. The parking lots are large, well lit, clean and easy to park in. Even when it's busy their is plenty of room for larger vehicles to park safely and turn around with ease. It has bathrooms on either side of the small waterway that splits that park in half. They are always stocked, clean and smell decent. The trashcans are never over flowing, leaving plenty of room to ensure you clean up after one's self. Find a foot path that heads west towards the ocean. You will see a bridge, proceed under HWY101 for beach access. It is a beautiful cove that keeps the wind down, providing a wonderful place to spend hours. Lots of families frequent here making it an easy place for children to enjoy the ocean. There is a lot to do. Such as, fishing, looking at the tide pools, climbing around on the rocks, looking for agates or simply enjoying the...

A great state Wayside and public park, on the Oregon coast. It is right near a motel and restaurant called the surftides, which has a staircase for easy access from above the cliff line to the park, as well. Creek empties into the ocean at this location, and the area around the creek is absolutely beautiful, and a great place for whale watching, lots of whale activity along Fogarty creek, and a little bit further south, is boiler Bay State Park, which is also a wonderful spot, with a high cliff line, to watch Wales as well. Slightly further to the South, is Depoe Bay, an excellent local port for fishing, sightseeing, and excursions as well as whale watching, with lots of shops, and restaurants located there. This is a very heavily touristed area, and is quite busy during regular seasonal tourist times of year. I guarantee you will love this area, should you...
