Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site is a 17.5-acre state park on the Oregon coast about 7 miles south of Lincoln City, offering free public access to the Pacific shore year-round. Reached from U.S. Highway 101 through Gleneden Beach, it features shore pines, sandstone bluffs, open sand, and paths that provide ocean views or lead down to the beach. Picnic tables are set in the woods near the parking area and in a meadow above an ocean bluff, and the site also includes a group picnic area, restrooms, and fishing opportunities.
