Did the short sands beach walk which was a nice leg stretcher, and then pulled off on the road where the oregon coast trail crosses the highway and continues up inland. We wandered on a trail down towards a meadow then up thru a cliff where we had a fantastic view of the ocean beating into a small cove in the cliff side. Cormorants and pelicans and seagulls all huddling on a large rock in the ocean. Great sounds and great views!

Oswald West is a great little secluded beach. It is a favorite with surfers. But we like it for several reasons. First, the short walk through old growth forests to the beach area. Some of the trees are very old, large and have unusual roots. Second, the beach is protected by cliffs that extend out into the ocean on both ends of the beach. This protects it from some higher winds. Third, at low tide there are some great tide pools to explore. Lastly, when you reach the area above the beach it is a great spot just to sit and enjoy the view.

A short hike down to the beach, Oswald West State Park is simply gorgeous. Many surfers head there year round and dogs run around off leash. There are bathroom facilities, picnic tables, water fountains and even recycling down at the beach. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

This is a favorite spot to take my friends visiting for out of town. You can do a short hike through old growth trees,streams,mossy ferns, working your way up to views over the bluffs over the Pacific. Or sit on the beach and watch the surfers and the beautiful sunset. the best!

We took the short hike to the beach--a nice and easy walking trail through the lush green rainforest, across a small bridge and to a quiet beach (on the day that we visited anyways!) There were a few surfers in the water, a few dogs gallivanting in the sand, otherwise we had the beach to ourselves! Beautiful!!

The Cape Falcon hike is incredible. Very muddy in Feb 2015 but well worth the soaking wet shoes. Follow any path you can - they always lead to something amazing. We ended it by going down to the remote beach and soaking our feet in the water. Also - there is a bathroom and picnic tables at the beach - which is great!

Great hiking trails and very clean and well kept park. You can walk along the beach or take one of the forest trails.

Loved, loved, loved the hikes and the views of the ocean from the mountain. Be prepared for a difficult, steep hike up - worth all the effort!

The short (1/2 mile or so) walk to the ocean is suitable for all-even the walking-challenged. Favored by surfers, the ocean comes ashore in a secluded-feeling cove which apparently has good waves. The walk is very nicely graveled (smooth) & goes through a grove of very mature spruce trees, many already fallen & hosting ferns, mushrooms, wildflowers, birds & salamanders. The easiest old-growth stroll I know of. You can stop at the picnic area at the end of the trail & watch the waves or sunset from several benches or continue on down to the beach below. Bathroom at both ends of the trail. A bit protected from the winds. Streams run through it on their way to the ocean. One of the top places to show visitors to Oregon. Fairly busy but accommodating big parking lot at the start. Dog & kid friendly.

As we continued the Columbia-River-Oregon-Coast Historical tour for new family members, a brief stop at Oswald West was mandatory. As a youngster, I used to camp here almost every summer. Sadly, the campground is closed, but the scenic grandeur remains. Just on the north side of the tunnel under Arch Cape, we rented a beautiful beach house with a creek full of migrating steelhead next to it. Almost as good as camping.
