Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area

https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=130 Cape Kiwanda is part of the Three Capes Scenic Route (along with Cape Meares and Cape Lookout). Kiwanda is the smallest of the three, but it is one of the best places to experience spectacular wave action. Pacific City is the home of the Pacific Dory Fleet. South of Cape Kiwanda is the dory boat launching area. North of Cape Kiwanda to Tierra Del Mar is a stretch of beach popular with picnickers. Kiwanda provides great hang gliding and kite flying opportunities. Important: some cliffside areas of the park are fenced for your safety. Don't cross the fence line. There are great views from the established viewpoints. Beyond the fence, the sandstone cliff edge can crumble without warning.

Oregon Hang Gliding School

https://www.oregonhanggliding.com/ The experience usually begins at 10 am at 6030 Pacific Ave or the Corvallis Airport and runs to around 3:00 pm. If - and only if - there is enough wind and you weigh under 160 lbs, we can perform a small tandem (only available on the coast). We use the very same glider we assembled for the solo part of the lesson. We just add on extra fee to the solo part because of the extra effort and time. We can now hike to the top of the dune for a little higher flight, with you knowing something so you can actually assist in a much safer tandem flight. So now, you really have a good feeling for what the sport is all about. It's all fun and educational.

Sitka Sedge State Natural Area

https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=208 Sitka Sedge State Natural Area is all about the views--of open water, tidal flats, saltwater marshes and forested wetlands of Sand Lake estuary; of the estuary animals, birds and plants; and for those willing to hike, beach views stretching from Haystack Rock to the south and north to Cape Lookout. The park's name comes from a beautiful native grass-like plant found in pockets throughout the property. Sitka Sedge (Carex aquatilis v. dives) reflects several of the unique characteristics of this new park. Graceful. Ecologically important. Natural. Visitors can hike the 3.5 miles of trail, including the 1/2-mile-long Beltz Dike Trail leading from the parking area west through the estuary to loop trails in the coniferous forested dunes, or continue through the dunes to the beach. Note: no cell phone service is available within the park.

Cape Lookout State Park

https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=134 A popular campground and day-use area, Cape Lookout is located on a sand spit between Netarts Bay and the ocean, giving you a terrific view of the ocean with convenient access to the beach. Beachcombing is popular here, and the park is reputedly a good place to find glass floats. More than eight miles of hiking and walking trails wind through a lush old-growth forest. The Cape Lookout trail follows the headland for more than two miles. A bench is located at the end of the trail. Enjoy the view! You might see a whale or two along with other wildlife. One walking trail—the nature trail—is perfect for a shorter jaunt. The nature trail gives you a close-up view of native trees and other plants. Numbered markers are keyed to a trail guide. The beach which runs for more than three miles from the base of Cape Lookout to the end of the Netarts sand spit provides another great option for walking at Cape Lookout. Be sure to be aware of incoming tides, as some areas of the beach will completely disappear during high tide.
