Oswald West State Park
Oswald West State Park is located between the townships of Cannon Beach and Manzanita, just off Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast.
Visitors can take a trail through lush, old-growth forest to popular Short Sand Beach, one of the most popular surfing beaches in Oregon. Short Sand Beach has an idyllic, secluded location between two headlands in Smuggler's Cove. There’s a lovely waterfall at the northern end of the beach with tide pools to explore. Visitors can also take a longer hike out to Cape Falcon with spectacular views of the coast from the overlook.
Is there a campground at Oswald West State Park?
The Oswald West State Park campground has been closed since 2009, so consider staying at nearby Cannon Beach or Manzanita.
