Horsfall Beach Is An Underrated Sandy Beach In Oregon

Oregon is famous for its gorgeous beaches, and some, like Cannon Beach, are known all over the world. Thanks to the Oregon Beach Bill of 1967, every single bit of the Beaver State’s coast is public property, from the water up to sixteen feet above the low tide mark. Here’s a beach that doesn’t get as much attention as some of Oregon’s other beaches, but it’s every bit as beautiful.

You’ll find Horsfall Beach just two miles north of Coos Bay, in North Bend. Part of the Siuslaw National Forest, this beach offers all kinds of recreation opportunities.

Off-road vehicle enthusiasts love this place for its Coast Guard South OHV Trail. Stay at the campground for easy access to the OHV Staging Area and Bull Run dunes.

The Sujameco was a 324-foot steamship that ran aground in 1929. Depending on the water levels, it can sometimes be seen at low tide.
