Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park is an Oregon state park on the central coast near Florence and Yachats, managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. It is known for a broad scenic beach popular for walking, kite flying, and visits with children and dogs. Its coastal setting is a major attraction, while nearby shoreline includes protected breeding areas for snowy plovers. Dogs are required to be on leashes within the park, and leashes are advised in nearby areas where restrictions vary. Just south of the park, the Hobbit Trail trailhead adds to its role as a popular stop along this stretch of Oregon coast.
