Oceanside Beach State Recreation Site
About
Oceanside Beach State Recreation Site is a 9-acre park in Oregon, about half a mile from the small town of Oceanside. It is a compact stop rather than a destination you need a full day to cover, which makes it easy to fold into a trip along this part of the coast. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tillamook show July and August highs around 68 to 69°F, lows near 50°F, and only about seven wet days a month. The rest of the year is much wetter, with roughly 20 or more wet days a month through winter. For more to do nearby, Cape Meares Scenic Trail is about 2 miles away. Cape Lookout State Park Campground and Cape Lookout Trail sit roughly 8 miles off, and the Tillamook River offers canoeing about 9 miles from the park.
