Fishing Rock State Recreation Site is a scenic coastal spot located at the south end of Lincoln Beach, just north of Fogarty Creek. It offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and is known for its rugged landscape and wind-blasted cedar and shore pine trees. The site is ideal for whale watching, particularly gray whales, which can often be seen from the shore. While it is not as crowded as other coastal spots, it has a dedicated following among those who enjoy its solitude and natural beauty.
The area features a small parking lot and a short trail that leads to expansive ocean views. The trails are surrounded by thick foliage and offer a glimpse into the region's unique coastal ecosystem.
Fishing Rock is part of the Oregon State Parks system but does not have its own dedicated webpage, making it somewhat of a hidden gem along the Oregon Coast Trail.
