NW 26th St Beach Access in Lincoln City, Oregon, is a hidden gem along the Oregon Coast. Located at the end of NW 26th Street, this beach offers a long staircase leading down to a broad, sandy beach with hints of tidepool life. The area is known for its seclusion and unique features, including high stone walls that evoke a medieval castle vibe. Visitors can enjoy a picnic bench and a restroom, making it a convenient spot for a day at the beach. The beach is part of Lincoln City's seven miles of public coastline, offering opportunities for beachcombing, sunsets, and exploring tide pools.
The beach's remote nature means it's less crowded than other spots in Lincoln City, providing a peaceful experience for those seeking solitude. At night, the view of distant fishing boats adds to the charm. During the day, the top viewpoint is ideal for whale watching, though the hillside partially obstructs the southern view.
NW 26th St Beach Access is a few blocks from other beach accesses, such as Grace Hammond at 35th St to the north and NW 21st St to the south, which offers another long staircase with a mid-descent platform for rest.
