Beautiful Beverly Beach Sand Art!

Beverly Beach, Oregon, is a beautiful spot along the Oregon Coast, known for its stunning sandy beaches and natural charm. It’s an unincorporated community in Lincoln County, located on U.S. Route 101, just north of Yaquina Head and south of Beverly Beach State Park. The area got its name in the early 1930s from Curtis and Florence May Christy, who owned the land and asked their young daughter, Florence Daneene Christy, to name it. She chose "Beverly" after her favorite doll, and the name stuck.
The main draw here is Beverly Beach State Park, a popular destination for visitors. It features a large, forest-sheltered campground along Spencer Creek, with giant, wind-sculpted trees and easy access to miles of beach stretching from Yaquina Head (where you can spot the lighthouse) to Otter Rock. The park offers something for everyone: 53 full-hookup RV sites, 76 electrical sites with water, 128 tent sites, and 21 yurts (some pet-friendly), plus group camping areas and a hiker/biker camp. A short walkway under Highway 101 takes you straight to the beach, perfect for kite flying, sandcastle building, surfing, fossil hunting, or just relaxing. The park also has amenities like hot showers, flush toilets, a playground, and a visitor center.
The beach itself is wide and flat, great for long walks, and on clear days, you can see from Cape Foulweather down to Yaquina Head. It’s a hotspot for surfers (especially in winter) and fossil enthusiasts, with ancient shells and marine life impressions visible in the cliffs. Nearby attractions like the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and Newport’s shops and restaurants are just a short drive away, making it a convenient base for exploring the central coast.
It’s a busy place, especially in summer, with the campground being one of Oregon’s largest and most popular, hosting nearly 170,000 campers a year. If you’re after peace and quiet, head north or south along the beach to escape the crowds. Whether you’re camping or just stopping by for the day, Beverly Beach offers a classic Oregon Coast experience—raw, rugged, and unforgettable.
