"Beverly Beach State Park, four miles north of Newport on the central Oregon coast, is a popular destination for swimmers and beachcombers. An offshore reef runs parallel to the long, sandy beach, calming the undertow and keeping the water a little warmer. Yaquina Lighthouse, one of many historic lights on the Oregon coast, illuminates the beach at night. Protected picnicking and camping facilities lie inland amid groves of trees, Lincoln County."
