Agate Beach State Recreation Site provides access to a broad sandy shoreline in Newport.

The open beach and nearby coastal scenery make it a straightforward outdoor stop, with an approach that passes beneath the old highway.
Check Oregon State Parks’ current parking and access information before visiting, and assess surf and weather conditions at the shore. Stay on designated approaches around dunes and coastal vegetation. The photograph shows the sandy beach and surrounding landscape, rather than a guarantee of agate finds or safe swimming conditions.
