Bastendorff Beach in Charleston, Oregon
At Bastendorff Beach Park, you can walk a great distance. There are caves all around, and it is the one beach that still looks like it did before settlers.
Also you don't have to pay to go there. You can bring your dog, and the jetty is pretty cool. There is an old tunnel above it where rock was taken out for the jetty. It has lots of history.
