Sport Haven Beach — Attraction in Oregon

Sport Haven Beach, while the most "crowded" beach in Brookings, is still a fantastic place to visit. With plenty of parking right on the waterfront, it's a great place to park and just take in the view. A small cement wall is the only thing that separates you from the Pacific Ocean only meters away, so you are literally front and center! This is my favorite beach to come have a cup of coffee from Cosmic Grind, or an ice cream from Slugs and Stones as there is so much to see, even if you don't want to get out of your vehicle... See if you can spot the lighthouses (there are two visible on a clear day)! Surfers can be seen here frequently and are mesmerizing to watch as they ride the often glassy waves.

I've been here in rain, shine, fog, and wind- it's always beautiful. I have way too many pictures of this beach but I will choose some of my favorites. I've hiked as far as you can go in both directions. I've had a romantic dinner here, bonfires here- once we cooked hobo dinners, played in the ocean, and I've seen quite a bit of sea life here- sea otters, sea lions, fish, starfish, oysters, crabs, etc. We also saw one year a creative little village someone built, took a few pictures of that.
