Review:
Oswald West State Park includes 2,484 acres of sandy beaches and lush temperate rainforest, making it a popular spot for exploring nature and taking in the exquisite Pacific coast. The 4-mile coastline within the park incorporates Short Sand Beach and Smugglers Cove, both of which are favorites for surfers and those who want to enjoy the beach away from the crowds.
These areas provide not only clean sand beaches, but also views of rocky cliffs and thick green forests. Further inland, Oswald West has a number of hiking trails, some of which form part of the famous Oregon Coast Trail. Some of the best hikes lead to breathtaking views at the Cape Falcon and Neahkahnie Mountain headlands.
