WHALESHEAD BEACH STATE PARK

Whaleshead Beach is a beautiful cove with a rock formation that resembles a whaleshead including a blowhole that spouts during high tide! The park has picnic tables, firepits, restrooms, beach access, rock hunting, and shell collecting. Whaleshead Beach is also a historical site. Gold was mined at this site and some old abandoned mining equipment can be seen here. Go to the parking lot and head east around the stream. Follow the headlands south to the area where an old sluice box can be found. Rumrunners also landed illegal booze here during prohibition. Whaleshead Beach State Park is located on Hwy. 101 north at mile post 349.

Hi Lori, I love the beautiful pictures on your blog.  My daughter and granddaughter live in Portland and I just spent the last week of August with them.  I also lived in Eugene for three years.  I don't know exactly where Brookings is... I'll have to Google it.

Well, a lot of people don't know where Brookings is, do they Lori. You are out to change that. Nice pics again. Keep them coming.

Looks like a wonderful place to spend some time loafing around.

Shirley- I like to include photos in my blog because I am not the greatest writer so I have to have something to catch peoples attention! Thanks for the nice comment.

Fred- I am certainly trying to change that. I want people to fall in love with Brookings to the point that they want to move here and I can sell them their dream property.

Sheila- So when can you come for a visit. We can take the hike to the gold mining site!

James Lee- Loafing? :)

Loafing is the act of wondering about with no planned destination.
