History of the Area
Located in Oregon, this coastal park was established as a state recreational site during the 1930s. It is situated along Highway 101 and offers visitors access to an unspoiled beach area with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

The land for the park was acquired between 1929 and 1954 through purchases from private owners. The initial acquisition consisted of around six acres purchased at $1,000 per acre; subsequent additions brought it up to its current size of approximately nine acres.

During World War II, many parks across America were closed due to wartime restrictions on travel and resources - but not this one! Despite these challenges, it remained open throughout WWII providing locals with much-needed respite amidst global turmoil.

In terms of facilities available within the grounds over time: picnic tables have been provided since inception while restrooms weren't added until later years when visitor numbers increased significantly necessitating such amenities.
