Beach. There is 3 miles of beautiful sand beach accessible at the end of Pacific Ave, at Bob Straub state park or at Cape Kiwanda. Those who enjoy a short walk can have a large expanse of beach to themselves. At Cape Kiwanda you will often see fishermen launching their dories (fishing boats) through the surf. It's fun to watch but keep out of their way. Cape kiwanda is fun to climb and provides a great view. Do not ignore the warnings and climb the cliffs!
