A gorgeous spot in May for rhodedendrums and tree blooms, in the fall for autumn leaf colors and year round for great photo backgrounds. Many weddings happen here. You can rent out the indoor space in case it rains for your event. Has a kitchen and bathroom too. Very quiet and scenic little stop when you are in Lincoln City. Close to local restaurants, so you can see it after lunch.

Have an aunt that lives within walking distance from the park, we go visit her then head out and walk along the beach. Drift wood galore, if you're into that kinda thing.

This lovely little beach is worth a look. Lots of "fiddly-bits" to find at low tide if you like looking for shells and agates. Sea lions sunbathe across the reach (and occasionally come over for a closer look at us humans). There's Mo's if you want lunch, and a wonderful arcade/ice cream shop across the street for sweet treats. The street leading to the beach is lined with places to stay, and shopping/groceries are a short walk away for convenience. There's not a lot of parking, but it's worth the trouble of waiting for a spot.

We've been visiting this park for years when we are in town. It's such a big and fun park with the really neat play structure. They also have an area for kids to play in the sand and water.

As the subject says, this is my go to beach. It is off of PCH (101) by about a mile. If you are coming from the north, turn right at the Safeway. The fact that it is not right on PCH leads to smaller crowds (compared to D River Wayside in central Lincoln City that is right on PCH). There is ample parking in the lot, bit because this is not on a highway you can also park on the street. But lets be honest, EVERY beach in Lincoln City is very busy in the summer. Roads End is not an agate searching beach. It is a relax beach, walk the shore beach, enjoy and relax beach. BUT it is also an incredible tidepool beach if you can manage to visit at a very low tide, or a minus low tide. If you are coming over for the weekend from inside Oregon, you should definitely look at the tide tables. Walking to the north end towards Cascade Head you will almost always see a bald eagle sitting on a tree looking for critters. If you are here for a minus tide and walk north to Cascade Head...wow, you will go home with such incredible memories (memories only people, it is illegal to take home sea stars).
