A little drive to get here through a very tree line road but definitely worth it. The views of the ocean phenomenal couple of moderately, maintain trails to hike down to the ocean other than that there’s an easy walk from the parking area. Recommended if you have about an hour to kill from coos bay

Amazing state park with no day use fee. There were no trail maps that we could find, and there are no signs for trails, however the two we took were well maintained, gravel/paved with packed dirt in places, and benches to rest along the way. The first stop we made was the pull out and parking area that you first come to when entering the park. The trail to the right takes you down to a stunning lookout where you can view a beach with giant driftwood logs along the right and a large colony of sea lions straight ahead. When we arrived, you could hear the sea lions barking from the parking lot. Pups were on the island ahead, and many adults were lounging on the rocks directly below us, some were diving in and hunting for fish, then heading over to the island. Lots of activity around 8 am. From there the road makes a loop to head back out the way you came in. Nearly at the end of the loop, there is a trail head and parking on the side of the road. This trail is moderately steep, but well maintained, and will take you down to the beach. Stunning views on the way down and back up, but the treat is on the beach. If you can time your arrival about an hour before low tide, there are great, easy access tidal pools to explore, much easier to explore than the ones at Sunset Bay (where you need to climb lots of very slippery rocks) I wouldn't recommend taking the trail down to the beach until there is some light though, so time accordingly. At the end of the trail there are 2 very steep spots that take you to the beach, there is a rope to help with the acscent and decent, about 7 feet. Dont let this put you off, we are in our 50's and did it without issue. Facing the water to the far left there are rocks with tide pools, we saw a few dozen of the rare ochre seastars in the pools, anemones, snails, crabs and small fish. We have been tide pooling along the OR coast, and this was by far the best one we did.

Totally agree with KMilFam, with extra advice to keep going until the end of the road for the sea lion colony. We stopped at two earlier pullouts, great hikes off those down to the crashing sea, and we spotted individual seals surfing but thought we had missed the big group everyone described - that’s at the end of the road. Keep going and that spectacle and sound is a hoot!
