The Oregon Coast is 363 Miles of Possibilities where the Headlands meet the Sea
Landmark legislation enacted in 1967, known as the Oregon Beach Bill, established free and public access to all 363 miles of Oregon coastline. This uniquely makes Oregon one of the few states to protect the public’s recreational use of coastal land. It’s why we call this special place “The People’s Coast“, one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon.
