Governor Patterson Wayside, Waldport, Oregon Coast

Sign at Governor Patterson Wayside

Governor Patterson State Park is a beachcomber's delight. It has miles of flat, sandy beach and just a short hike from the mouth of Alsea Bay where you can windsurf, crab, or just watch the seals. Excellent whale and storm watching. Sunsets are beautiful here and it's a great place to take photos. There is no fee to use this park. For information, call 1-800-551-6949.
