| Oregon Coast Agates |
Oregon Coast agate hunting is a great activity for the whole family. Any time is a good time to put your toes in the sand and hunt for agates, but if you're able to be on the beach right after a storm or are there December - March, your chances are even better. Agates are small pieces of rock that has eroded from cliff along beaches or rivers that end up in the ocean and get a natural polish by the surf. These rocks tend to get buried in the sand. After a storm, the wind and waves remove some of the sand, leaving the agates exposed.
The best areas to look for agates are:
Cannon Beach to Cape Falcon
Tillamook Bay (along Bay Ocean Road)
The beach between Netarts and Oceanside
Lincoln City
Otter Rock to Newport - Beverly Beach, Moolack Beach
Newport North Jetty
