Harris Beach State Park is a lovely Oregon state park just north of the city of Brookings, named in honor of 19th-century area Scottish pioneer George Scott Harris. The lovely state park protects a National Wildlife Refuge within its boundaries on picturesque Bird Island, the largest island off the Oregon state coastline, which serves as a significant breeding ground for rare bird species like the tufted puffin. Lovely rocky outcroppings and sea stacks dot the park's gorgeous shoreline, which is open to the public for year-round recreational fun, including chances for kite flying, swimming, and wildlife watching. Day-use picnic sites offer restrooms and waterfront views, while camping areas feature tent and RV hookups and pet-friendly yurts.
