About Driftwood Beach State Recreation Site
Driftwood Beach State Recreation Site is a state park administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department in the U.S. state of Oregon. Located 3 miles (5 km) north of Waldport along the Pacific Ocean, the park offers beach access, picnicking, and fishing in a setting of shore pines and sand. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department acquired 7.70 beachfront acres in 1968, and in 1986, L. Presley Gill gifted 29 additional acres. The 36.7-acre (14.9 ha) park between U.S. Highway 101 and the ocean has parking spaces from which visitors can watch winter-storm surf without leaving their cars.
