Whaleshead Beach

Whaleshead Beach is easily accessible from the road with parking, restrooms and picnic tables. Because of its easy access, the north end of the beach does attract some activity (not that any beach on this part of the coast ever gets really crowded), while the south end of the beach is usually absent of human activity. The beach is wide, even at low tide and is one of the longer beaches on the Oregon coast.

Whaleshead Beach got its name because a prominent rock on the beach, when struck at just the correct angle by a wave, gives off a spout like a while.

The Oregon Coast Trail crosses the beach.

Whaleshead Beach is located north of Brookings, OR along Route 101.
