As you saw yesterday, with Rusty’s help, we made it to Heceta Head beach just fine.
It was a bit crowded so we parked in the overflow area – and we were the only ones there. What I really like about this place is having Cape Creek to play in.
Plus the trees and the grass.
A nice place to park the motorhome.
And just a short walk away and under the historic Cape Creek bridge…
…you are on a great sandy beach.
It’s great fun to play in the creek.
Or explore the many caves and tide pools.
When it’s time to go, it’s hard to say “good-bye.”
This is one place we will return to again and again. There is nothing I don’t like about this place. Many beaches on this central part of the coast are difficult to access because of the huge sand dunes. There is either a hike over the dunes or a rocky beach. On this beach, you park, walk over a few feet of grass, and you are on the beach…unless, of course, you have parked in the overflow lot and then you have to walk about a block on a paved sidewalk to get to the beach!!!
I highly recommend this area and this beach. You can also hike to the light house from here but those days are long over for us old folks…it’s quite a hike…uphill both ways!
There is a day use fee on this beach but there are also flush toilets, picnic tables, water, grass, and good parking. Well worth the $5 you will pay if you do not have an access pass. My recommendation – GO---ENJOY!
