  • Top 7 Dog Beaches In Oregon

Saturday, June 22nd, 2019

Oregon is a diverse state. There are breathtaking mountains with hidden waterfalls, the majestic Colombia River, hip, cool cities like Portland, and rugged, rocky coasts. The Oregon coast offers some ideal Pacific coast beaches that welcome dogs. Beach days are the best days for dogs, just like us humans. Up and down the Oregon coast, there are parks and beaches that are perfect for offering sandy paws and sea salt fur. Try a visit to one of these Top 7 Dog Beaches In Oregon.

7.  Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint In Gold Beach

Along the southern coast of Oregon, you will find Pistol River State Park, so named because a soldier lost his gun there during the Rogue River Indian War of 1856. Today, the shoreline and the dunes are part of the state park. Winds from the Pacific Ocean can be strong at times—the area plays host to some national windsurfing competitions and the Summer winds cause the dunes to grow. You can bring your dog along if you stop by to watch the windsurfers or if you want to frolic in the surf yourself. Just be sure to keep your pooch leashed at all times.

6.  Seven Devils State Recreation Site In Bandon

Like most of Oregon’s coast, the Seven Devils State Recreation Site offers a mix of rocky shores, sandy beaches, and dunes. You and your four-legged best friend can explore the tidepools and climb the rocks. When you’ve worked up a sweat, you can both cool off in the ocean while you take in the rugged scenery. Dogs are welcome on the beach and trails if they are kept on a leash.

5. Manzanita Beach In Manzanita

A dog-friendly beach in a dog-friendly town! The small, oceanfront town of Manzanita is filled with quaint shops and outdoor cafes that welcome pups. Just steps away from the town is the seven-mile stretch of Manzanita Beach. The water may be cool—it rarely gets above 60-degrees—but the beach is a hot spot. You will see families playing in the sand. People enjoying good books. Curious folks exploring the tidepools, and lots of dogs getting their paws in the sand.

4.  Horsfall Beach In North Bend

Pets on leashes are welcome at the Horsfall Beach campground and beach, located on the beautiful Oregon coast in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The park has 47 miles of trails the wind around the dunes, some of which stand close to 500 feet tall. If you and your pooch are up for an overnight adventure, then you can camp at the campground and wake up early to comb the beach for treasures. You can then spend the afternoon hiking the trails and catch the sunset from atop the dunes.

3.  Agate Beach State Recreation Site In Newport

A favorite pastime at Agate Beach in Newport is clam digging. You may even be able to get your dog to help you dig for clams on the beach. If he’s not into it, then you can always take a run or stroll on the beach, swim in the waves, or enjoy a picnic lunch. All you need to know is that your dog must be on a leash and you must clean up any messes your dog leaves on the beach. Other than that, you and your pooch can spend your day beaching.

2.  Arcadia Beach State Recreation Site In Arch Cape

Nestled between rocky cliffs is Arcadia Beach, a sunny strip of sandy beach in Arch Cape, Oregon. With your pup on his leash, the two of you can explore the tide pools and the rocky outcroppings, watch the surfers, or relax on the sand. The scenic beach offers a quintessential Oregon coast view, with massive sandstone bluffs and giant rock islands in the surf. Some spots can be dangerous when the tide comes in so you will always have to keep your eye on the ocean. You don’t want to risk getting stranded on a rock when the sea rises. It may be better for you to bring a beach blanket and recline on the beach and leave the exploring for another day. It’ll be worth the wait.

1.  Cannon Beach In Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach, with its magnificent view of Haystack Rock, is a favorite destination for Instagram travelers and adventures, as well as their dogs. The only rules is that your dog needs to stay on his leash. The beach boasts a lighthouse, picnic area, hidden coves, tide pools, and a long stretch of sand. Be sure to take plenty of selfies with your pooch with the iconic Haystack Rock in the background. Your social media followers will thank you. The nearby town of Cannon Beach is quaint, with cute dog-friendly restaurants, as well as unique shops and art galleries.
