My grandmother and I used to hike down that cliff face LONG before the boardwalk down to beach was ever built. We made some great finds down there over the years but thanks to the easy access and the internet it's been picked out. I doubt people will ever find agates on that beach with the size or quality as what we used to. Some things should just remain a special secret.
Same. The internet has really ruined Oregon's pristine beaches. They're trashed by all the tourism that doesn't care about the ecosystem. I miss the days when everyone who was on those beaches, cared about them.
I LOVE this beach! I happened upon it unexpectedly on my way up to Tillamook, and have been back to it a few times. One of my favorites for sure. My heart thrilled when I saw that familiar part of the road! Thanks for sharing and taking me back!
Where I live a largish rock is about 1mm in diameter (sand). The only rocks you'll find here are ones people have paid for, brought in from other areas. I've visited some rocky beaches in Oregon and Washington. Like visiting another planet for me!
Yes, there are still plenty there lol. The daily limit legally in Oregon is 25 lbs which is quite a bit for a day! But you are supposed to collect no more than 250 lbs in a year. Unless you get a commercial license from the state.
@@americandream23on the beaches you can collect rocks and shells defined as no more than a one-gallon volume container per person per day; up to three gallons per person per calendar year.
Please take only pictures. All you remove from the shore is not replaced and is essential for the ecosystem. Please do not promote destruction of the coastline.
Please do not remove agates from the coastline. Nature should not be exploited this way and the beaches you see now will disappear with constant 'gathering'! It is not accurate that 25 lbs may be taken. That is illegal. Please take only pictures!!!! Leave natute to herself!!!
I appreciate your comments but obviously do not agree with your point. The RV park where we stay when we are in Netarts has gravel in the RV spots and that gravel has a lot of agates in it. The agates are so plentiful that they grind them up for gravel! I also take exception to calling this exploitation. I don't think collecting some rocks on a beach is exploiting nature.
We have not! Would definitely love to though. I read there's a beach past Tunnel beach that you can only get to during the extreme low tides but you have to be sure and get back before the tide comes back in or you'll get trapped. Thank you for your comments!

Sad to hear.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! We feel the same way about the beach. It's really beautiful.
10:57 some gorgeous agates, after polishing.
Have visited Agate Beach in California but not yet on the Oregon coast. On my to do list now, thank you. Take care. Dave.
The Oregon beaches we've visited are beautiful! Definitely make the time to get up there!

What is the rule?

Just so you know, we are not collecting that much.

So glad you enjoyed it! 😊
What’s with the long stringy hair Dude? Time for a haircut?😂
I save a lot of money not getting haircuts. That's how I'm able to travel full time!
@@americandream23 Seriously, have your wife trim your hair. Looks sloppy.
@@b.l.8611 Seriously, mind your own business. Didn't your parents teach you manners?!
@@user-fb6qz4ew5k Manners….what about having a generally accepted appearance, I guess that’s not important? Are you a toothless wonder 🦷!
Oi I live a few miles from there 😮
It's beautiful! We stayed at Netarts Bay for almost a month and went to the beaches up at Oceanside a lot. We loved it!
@@americandream23 Oregon coast is a beautiful place!
@@americandream23 have you ever gone to the secret coves or the natural bridges? Those are some beautiful places during the right conditions
We have not! Would definitely love to though. I read there's a beach past Tunnel beach that you can only get to during the extreme low tides but you have to be sure and get back before the tide comes back in or you'll get trapped. Thank you for your comments!
Yes it is. We loved it!
