The beach attracts many photographers for its rustic views and marine research groups because of its wildlife. See for yourself why beach enthusiasts have been visiting these shores since the late 19th century.

    Fabulous beach and a quaint old time beach feel at Nye Beach.
  • By Cynthia Freshwater
    Loved visiting here. Tide pools were fun to check out. You have to be very careful to not hurt nature while observing the beauty.
