Cresent Beach

"Not the easiest hike to get to but definitely worth it. A little has changed since the landslide and bring shoes to go through a little mud. But very nice it was secluded with only a few people."

"Short hike from public parking in Ecola State Park. Much less busy than Cannon Beach and great views. You can see Haystack rock in the distance and the light house. The beach was very clean and the sand was not rocky or uncomfortable. Out of the three beach locations I went to in the area, this was my favorite."

"Starting from the Ecola State Park parking lot ($5 parking fee) it's a 1.25 mile hike down to Crescent Beach. Not difficult but not easy either with some small patches of mud along the way so appropriate footwear is advised. But the beach area at the end is gorgeous and peaceful and well worth the trek."

"One of the highlights of our visit to the Oregon coast. We stumbled on this 2 years ago and will go every time we're here. This year we went for low tide and saw so many tide pool areas with tons of sea life. It was a little more populated because it was accessible from Cannon Beach at low tide but still feels like a private beach. The hike is not difficult, a little steep and slippery at times, but beautiful. We packed in food, water, and chairs and had a great morning on the beach!"

"Absolutely stunning beach! This place was amazing! From my understanding you can only get to it by hiking to it, I'm sure at low tide is different, however it's just so nice to have a beach that you have to work to get to! No cars, very few people. One of the only not crowded beaches in the area. Also, the view is amazing!!!"
