Here where the Yachats river meets the Pacific Ocean. Visitors to the Yachats State Recreation area can view the gray whale migration. The rocky shore area next to the Recreation Area is designated as a marine garden; which includes all rocky areas, tide pools, and sand beaches situated between extreme high tide and extreme low tide. The park is open for salmon fishing and has plenty of resting benches and picnic tables.
