Ecola State Park lies along a very scenic stretch of the Pacific coastline, providing day visitors with a great beach and a wildlife playground. Hikers can explore numerous trails, including a segment of the renowned Oregon Coast Trail or the interpretive and historic Clatsop Loop Trail.

If you prefer to just relax, you can swim, picnic, sunbathe, or surf at secluded Indian Beach and there are many fascinating tidal pools to explore at low tide. Wildlife enthusiasts can follow the boardwalk from Ecola Point to view nesting sea birds on Sea Lion Rocks, scan the ocean for migrating whales in spring and winter, or be on the lookout for deer, elk, and eagles.
