Oswald West State Park has a beautifully secluded sandy beach and
miles of trails leading to breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
This sprawling, scenic treasure is without a doubt one of the most
spectacular parks in Oregon, and arguably, in the United States.
Short Sand, Big Fun
Popular with surfers and boogie boarders,
Short Sand Beach is always alive. Think surfing,
picnicking, tide pooling. Cape Falcon to the
north and Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain to the
south flank this short beautiful beach.
What’s Close By
To the north: Hug Point, Arcadia Beach and
Tolovana Beach. All gorgeous! Continue north
and take in the beauty of Ecola State Park.
To the south, you can enjoy the beaches and
camping at Nehalem Bay State Park.

Oregon’s Visionaries
The park, nicknamed “Shorty’s” by the locals,
is here in no small measure because of two
men: Sam Boardman, Oregon’s first State Park
Superintendent, and Governor Oswald West,
for whom the park was eventually named.
In 1931, 118 acres were donated to the
State of Oregon under the name of Short Sand
Beach State Park. A patchwork of donations
and purchases followed, thanks largely to the
dogged pursuit of land acquisition by Sam
Boardman, who believed that coastal lands
in particular should be set aside for public
ownership and care.
The park was renamed in 1958, in honor of
Governor Oswald West. This remarkable
one-term Governor (1911-1915) opened nearly
400 miles of Oregon shoreline for public access
by declaring the beaches a public highway.

CELEBRATING
100 YEARS OF
OREGON STATE PARKS
A hundred years ago, state parks were barely an idea in Oregon, little
more than patches of roadside greenery. A 5-acre donation in 1922
— setting aside a special place for everyone — became Oregon’s first
official state park.
From 1922 to 1989, Oregon’s state park system grew within the Oregon
Department of Transportation and its predecessor agencies. Oregon
Parks and Recreation officially became an independent agency in 1990
with much fanfare and public engagement. Today, the state park system
comprises 254 park properties and more than 100,000 acres.
In 2022, we invite you to join us in celebrating this milestone. It’s a year
to reflect on the past 100 years and look to the future as we work to
preserve this legacy for the next generation.

Woman’s Vision
On the day after her 1845 wedding,
Sarah Helmick left behind friends,
family, and everything she had ever
known. She and her husband loaded
all they could in a covered wagon
and set out across the plains for
Oregon. They took up a land claim
that included several scenic, shaded
acres along the Luckiamute River, just
south of Monmouth. There, they raised family,
farmed, and, in Sarah’s case, lived to celebrate
her 100th birthday. Sarah marked this milestone
in the early 1920s with a momentous gift—not one
she received, but one she gave. She donated
several acres of the family’s original land claim
to the State of Oregon for use as a park, a
place we know today as the Sarah Helmic

Many of Oregon’s lighthouses double as excellent
wildlife viewing areas. They are great places to
spot sea birds, seals and migrating Gray whales.
regon’s coastal lighthouses are visible
links to the past—towering monuments
to Oregon’s maritime heritage and to the
hardworking people that kept the lighthouse
beacons lit. Although unoccupied since the
arrival of modern technology, these classic
structures stand as a testament to the history
of Oregon’s
rugged coast.
Most of Oregon’s
lighthouses were
designed and
built by the U.S.
Army Corps
of Engineers
between 1870
and 1896. They
were erected
Coquille River Lighthouse
on prominent
headlands or near major estuaries to support
commercial fishing and shipping along the
Oregon coast. The lighthouses were originally
managed by the former U.S. Lighthouse
Board, with the U.S. Coast Guard taking over
stewardship duties in 1939.
After installing automated beacons in the 1960s,
the Coast Guard began transferring its lighthouse
holdings to other government agencies. All nine
of Oregon’s surviving lighthouse stations have
been added to the National Register of Historic
Places. They are visited by more than 2.5 million
people each year.
If you’re touring lighthouses, check out (or stay at!)
a nearby state park. See the map on the reverse.
Climb to lantern or tower watch rooms and
experience the panoramic sights once enjoyed
by the light tenders from their perches high on
the cliffs. Hear the sounds of seabirds, wind
and waves that accompanied their isolation
as they worked through the night to prevent
ships from running aground on the rocks.

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse
Tillamook Rock has a 62-foot-high tower and stands
133 feet above sea level on a basalt rock islet. Its
exposure to fierce storm waves gave rise to its
nickname–“Terrible Tilly.” Commissioned in 1881
to guide ships entering the Columbia River, it was
replaced by a whistle buoy in 1957. At one time, it was
used as a columbarium, a storage place for ashes of
the deceased.

Hidden beneath the waves
Oregon’s 362-mile shoreline is more than
just sandy beaches and rocky headlands.
Retreating tides reveal some of the most
diverse coastal ecosystems: tidepools.
The organisms that live here are resilient
ocean residents. They battle strong currents,
water temperature changes and a lack of food
and oxygen. Many tidepool inhabitants work
together to survive.
Oregon’s tidepools attract thousands of
curious human visitors each year. Exploring
tidepools can be a fun way to spend an
afternoon, but certain precautions must be
taken to ensure the resident creatures (and
you) remain safe.
Tips for visiting a
rocky intertidal area
Oregon’s Rocky
Intertidal Areas
• Know the rules before you go. Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife regulations protect tidepool animals. Check the Oregon sport fishing regulations (free
at most stores selling sporting goods) for rules about
collecting animals.
• Visit the tidepools at least one hour before low
tide. Start with the tidepools closest to the ocean and
work your way back with the incoming tide. Bring a
tide table too; look for them at a state park or local
business.
• Tides of zero feet and lower are best for visiting
tidepools. Tides up to two feet high can still provide
good viewing when the ocean is calm.
• Travel slowly and carefully. Rocks and marine algae
can be slippery. Also be careful around marine plants
like seaweed. Many animals hide under ocean plants to
avoid the hot sun and predators.
• Always stay on marked trails. Many tidepools are
located near unstable headlands and bluffs.
• Always keep one eye on the ocean. Exploring a tidepool means you’ll be near ocean waves. Make sure an
incoming wave doesn’t sneak up on you. If a big wave
heads your way, lie flat on the rocks and hold on tight!
• Expect to get wet. Wear appropriate clothing. If you
get soaked, dry off soon. Evening temperatures can
drop quickly on the coast, putting you at risk of hypothermia.
• Look at, in, under and around. Tidepool creatures
hide in creative places. After looking at animals
under rocks and seaweed, re-cover them to prevent
drying by the air and sun.
• Touching or picking up animals is OK, but be
gentle. Please return any animal you pick up to the
exact spot you found it.
• Never pull or pry an animal from a rock. Animals
in the tidepools stick to rocks because of the waves
and strong currents that wash against them.
• Bring your binoculars. Harbor seal pups often rest
on rocks and beach areas while their mothers feed
offshore. Seabirds also use rocks for nesting and
rearing their young. Please enjoy these animals from
at least a 50-foot distance.
Tidepools are alive!
Please leave plants and animals just as
you found them. State parks are nature
preserves, where all living things are
protected for others to enjoy.

Tidepools are divided into several zones. The zones
are classified based on wave action, shoreline
features and exposure during tidal periods.
The organisms that live in each zone are dependent
on a number of factors: water temperature, wave
action, variation in salinity (saltiness), exposure
to light and how much water is present. The
conditions have to be just right for an organism to
be comfortable in each zone.
Some organisms are hardier than others and are
able to live in multiple zones. Part of the fun of
exploring tidepools is discovering a plant or animal
where you least expected it to be!
Spray zone: This area extends from the highest
reach of spray and storm waves to the average
height of the high tides. It is usually dry, meaning
relatively few types of organisms can live here.
High tide zone: This zone includes the area from
the average high tide to just below the average sea
level. It is a highly saline (salty) environment and
experiences higher temperatures than other zones.
Mid-tide zone: This zone extends from just
below average sea level to the upper lim
W
e know that Oregon’s 362 miles of shoreline
and beaches are a magnet for happy dogs
and their people. Dogs are welcome at (almost) all
times and places on Oregon’s beaches. But please
keep in mind that all dogs, even well-behaved
ones, can be a threat to birds and wildlife. Some
beaches are part of protected nesting grounds of
the western snowy plover. During its spring and
summer nesting season (March 15-Sept. 15),
certain recreation activities may be restricted or
prohibited.
The Bird
The western snowy plover is a tiny shorebird that
lives and breeds along some west coast beaches from
Washington to southern California. It is a threatened
species under the federal government’s Endangered
Species Act (ESA). Plovers nest in dry open sand, in
tiny, shallow scrapes that are very well camouflaged.
Not only are nests easy to miss (or step on), but the
bird will abandon its eggs if repeatedly disturbed by
activities it considers a threat—activities we may see
as harmless, like walking a dog, throwing a ball and
flying a kite.
For more info, go to bit.ly/wsplover
The Law
Oregon State Parks is legally responsible for managing
recreation on Oregon’s ocean shore. The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) oversees the ESA and thus
the status of the western snowy plover.
What is a management area?
Management areas are stretches of beach that are either
known to be occupied by breeding plovers, or places
where their presence is significant and the habitat
attractive. Not all management areas have recreation
restrictions.
What does this mean
for beachgoers?
It means that visitors need to watch for special signs
or fences during nesting season and follow the
rules. Generally, where plovers are nesting, dogs,
vehicles, bicycles, camping and fires are prohibited.
Pedestrians and equestrians need to stay on wet sand.
Potential nesting areas may call for dogs to be leashed
and driving to be curtailed.
Beach Behavior We Love
• Walk around birds instead of through
their flocks.
• Leash your dogs before they chase birds.
• Respect restricted areas set aside for
endangered or nesting species.
• Stay away from birds and marine mammals that
look sick or unable to get away from humans.

Whale Watching
W
hale watching is one of the most popular
activities on the coast, enjoyed by tens of
thousands of visitors per year. Oregon has more
than two dozen excellent whale watching spots
on the coast; many are in or near state parks.
When is the best time
to see whales?
Park staff are ready to answer your
questions and help you spot Gray whales
at the Whale Watching Center in Depoe
Bay. Perched on the seawall with expansive
ocean views, the center is a perfect spot to
see whales.
Gray whales are the most commonly sighted
whales on the coast. Their seasonal migration
patterns bring more than 20,000 of them past
the coast each year.
In the winter, from mid-December through
mid-January, the whales travel south to the
warm lagoons of Baja Mexico.
Spring watching begins with a surge in late
March as the gray whales travel north to
Alaska. Whales are northbound through May.
About 200 Gray whales remain in Oregon’s
coastal waters every year. Summer and fall
you may see them feeding closer to shore. The
central coast is a hot-spot for whales from May
through October.
Whale Watch Week
Oregon State Parks celebrates the migrations
twice per year with Whale Watch Week
during late December and late March.
Volunteers are stationed at more than 20 of
the best whale watching sites along the coast,
ready to help visitors spot whales and offer
fun facts about the marine mammals. For
Whale Watch Week dates and locations, visit
whalespoken.org.
Hours: Daily, 10am – 4pm
(call ahead for winter hours)
Address: 119 SW Hwy. 101, Depoe Bay
Information: 541-765-3304
Be a volunteer
The Whale Watching Spoken Here program
places volunteers at great whale watching sites
during the two official whale watch weeks.
Volunteers help visitors see and learn about
migrating and resident Gray whales. Are
whales your passion, too?

The Blow
Gray whales usually surface every 20 seconds as they swim,
but will often stay under for 3 to 5 minutes when they are
eating. If they have been down for 5 minutes they usually
blow 5 times when they surface to replenish their oxygen
supply. The blow, or spout, shoots nearly 12 feet high and
expels 400 liters of air in a single blast. The whales take
a few breaths at the surface then dive again. If they are
frightened they can stay down for 30 minutes, hiding on the
bottom or traveling great distances.
The Breach
The Spyhop
Whales are intelligent and curious, and are often seen
“spyhopping,” or lifting their heads above the surface
of the water. They like to rise out of the water to get a
better sense of their surroundings. During the summer,
Gray whales have been known to spyhop regularly,
especially when local tour boats are near. Perhaps this
means the whales enjoy watching us as much as we
enjoy watching them?

A deep dive, also known as sounding
or fluking, happens when a whale lifts
its tail flukes out of the water. This
helps propel the whale downward at a
steep angle to the bottom, where they
feed on zooplankton and amphipods.
After the flukes disappear under the
water, the turbulence of the dive will
cause a circle of smooth water, known
as a fluke-print.
The ultimate in whale sightings is a breach: a whale
launches itself out of the water in a spectacular show of
power and grace. Scientists aren’t sure why whales breach.
Possibly they do it to remove parasites, communicate with
each other or maybe it’s just for fun. Gray whales aren’t
known for breaching nearly as often as
