Review:
Oswald West State Park is home to a desolate white sand beach that extends for four miles along the coast. Hikers, surfers, beachcombers, and fishing enthusiasts will find lots of entertainment at this peaceful park. In the nearby forest there are miles of trails that offer amazing views of the Pacific Ocean.
Short Sand Beach, known locally as Shorty's, is famous for its interesting sandstone cliffs and basalt columns. For stellar views of the coastline, visitors can drive to Cape Falcon and Neahkahnie Mountain. Both attractions are located within the 2,500-acre park. Lastly, visitors should take a look at the well-preserved coastal rainforest inside of Oswald West State Park, which is considered to be one of the best coastal forests in the world.
