About this place

Added by Jason Horstman

Take a stroll along the small semi-secluded Tunnel Beach, which can only be accessed via a short manmade tunnel.

The main beach is located adjacent to Oceanside Beach State Park, which can be accessed via Cape Meares Loop/Netarts Oceanside Hwy.

Once you arrive at the park, head down towards the beach and start walking North. You'll notice a little hole-in-the-wall past a small group of rocks which you'll have to step over. Take precaution during storm season, as rocks above the tunnel entrance have been known to fall during inclement weather. Once in the tunnel, you'll want a source of light as there are plenty of rocks and logs to step over. The tunnel is short, so you'll reach the other side quickly, at which point you can stroll along the beach and view a small group of ocean rock formations to the North.

Pro tip: for some of the best food in the area, stop at the Blue Agate Cafe located right near the park off Pacific Ave.

Worth the stop! Explore/play on the beach and go through the tunnel, then drive up to check out the octopus tree

Nice Hidden Spot!
Was a fun area to make a stop away from the crowds. It is a good agate picking spot. Added bonus, saw a couple seals!

Star trek beach!
A favorite place on the Oregon Coast! Great agate spot at certain times of the year.
