Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Brian Booth State Park adventure.
Kayak, birdwatch, or spend the day at the beach at this two-in-one Central Coast park.
Just north of Waldport on Oregon’s Central Coast, Brian Booth is a day-use state park popular with beach-lovers, birdwatchers, and kayakers. Its existence is the result of a merger between two separate but nearby areas: Ona Beach (formerly Ona Beach State Park) on the seashore and the Beaver Creek Natural Area, about a mile inland. Ona Beach features a small parking area and a generally quiet beach, while the natural area offers about five miles of hiking trails and a boat ramp for kayaking its namesake Beaver Creek.
Brian Booth State Park is open year-round, and the weather here is at its finest from July through September, when the temperatures are warm and the chance of rain is at its lowest. If you're a fan of birding, November is a great time to see migratory birds in the park’s Beaver Creek State Natural Area, while whale-watching season peaks at the coast from mid-December through mid-January and again from late February to May.
