Salishan Leaseholders and their guests enjoy access to the beach at designed spots along the spit that are on SLI property and as such are open to all leaseholders for use. Because of seasonal changes and the construction of revetments along the ocean front, some of these access points can be closed for safety.
Please don’t walk on neighboring properties and be respectful of adjoining leaseholds. For leaseholder beach access click here.
Waves and Beach Hazards
For your safety:
- Never turn your back to the waves when near the water.
- Logs come ashore frequently and can easily cause an injury or worse.
- Never play or let children climb on a log near the water.
- Be aware of the potential of sneaker waves that can knock a person down and pull them from the shore.
- The ocean is very cold.
- Even good swimmers may have difficulty getting back ashore if pulled out by a rip tide.
Beach Fires
Oregon beaches are public lands up to the vegetation line so regulations about beach fires are dictated by the State Fire Marshal and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
- Ensure your beach fire is away from other combustibles and keep it relatively small.
- Note the wind direction.
- Locate the fire well away from other vegetation near the upland shore.
- Make sure fire is extinguished before departure.
- If you see what you believe is an unsafe fire, please notify patrol staff without delay.
