Agate Beach State Recreation Site, Newport

This is a long scenic beach. You can spend hours here exploring and collecting agates, seashells, driftwood and on very lucky occasions sea glass. Usually after a storm and low tide is the best time for hunting these treasures. One year the beach was covered with "By the Wind Sailors", they look like jellyfish and I was told are harmless but I don't think I will be touching any. There's a tunnel access from the park to the beach that runs under the frontage road. As always leave it better than you found it for generations to come and enjoy 😉.

The tunnel under the road crossing from the paved parkimg to the beach is sketchy and covered in ugly graffiti. I wouldn't hang around there at night. The beach is great, beautiful view of the ocean, and the sunset. Not much in the way of agates to be found though. Free random picnic table condiments!
