We were thrilled with what they had on display. Excellent displays of both mammal and aquatic life.

I didn't stay here, but drove through the campground. The yurts sure looked interesting. The park is very nice and open year round. The day use area is great and my dog and I did spend time there. The bathrooms were clean. There is an easy beach access there and then miles and miles of great beach. My dog was... More

Stay in a yurt, you have two large double size bunks and one oversize twin, heat, electric and for the price its well worth it, they are about 1.5 miles from the Ocean, they are awesome.

South Beach State Park is quite large and consists of three distinct sections. There is the Campground, the Day Use area, and the South Jetty. The South Jetty is where the Equestrian Trail to the beach starts. I am local and a horsewoman, so have trailered my horse to the South Jetty many times. The road is paved and there... More

The Oregon Parks and recreation department do a good job throughout the State and South Beach is a good place to camp with family. The sites are laid out well to give better than average privacy. The playground has a variety to offer and easy access. Lot of trail to take to the beach.

A large group of our (my wife & I) friends got together at South Beach State Park Nov 11-13. The weather was typical Oregon wet season weather, but we're used to it. The yurts make this trip easy to do. Load up food and drink and that's about it. The campgrounds were filled with RVs, it was nice to see... More

The way I see it, it is salishan or the yurts on the Oregon coast. Beautiful and close to the ocean.

The bike trails are paved and the walk to the beach is short. Even walking or biking to the jetty or the aquarium is great from this state park.
