About Indian Beach
Indian Beach at Ecola State Park is one of Oregon's most photogenic surf spots, tucked into a cove between Tillamook Head and Haystack Rock. The beach break and rock reef setups produce punchy, fun waves in a dramatic, forested setting. The cove offers some protection from the wind, which is a huge asset on the Oregon coast. Access requires a short hike through old-growth forest in a state park. It's consistent, scenic, and uncrowded compared to more accessible breaks.
