  • Start date: 06/18/2023

  • Start time: 12:00 AM

  • End date: 06/18/2023

  • End time: 11:59 PM

Description:

We will carpool from Eugene to the Yachats Community Center Parking lot. If needed, a back-up parking option will be the Yachats State Park main parking lot just to the south.

The hike will follow the 804 trail to where it ends at a set of wooden stairs down to the beach. We will then walk the beach north for just over 3 miles to Tillicum Beach for lunch, returning the same route back to the cars. The beach walk will cross a few fresh water paths so waterproof shoes (or river sandals if you prefer) could be helpful.

Some hikers may choose to stop for a late afternoon snack or beverage in Florence on the way back to Eugene.

Trip Report

Our route followed the 804 trail from Yachats (with a slight beach/rock scramble diversion at the start) to its north end where the trail descended wooden stairs down to the beach. We then followed the wide sand beach a few miles up to the Tillicum campground for an early lunch break. Rain caught us on the way back, but it was sunny again by the time of our return to Yachats. All-in-all it was a great day for a beach walk!
