1. Looking for a nice Pacific beach? Consider Ona Beach State Park on Highway 101 south of Newport, Oregon. You'll be able to find the right spot for a family picnic or a quiet afternoon on the beach.
2. If you're looking for a quiet beach in Central Oregon, consider going to the Prineville Reservoir at Jasper Point. You'll be able to find a quiet beach, rock formations, desert space and lake swimming.
3. Looking for a quiet beach in northern Oregon where you can sit and watch the waves? The Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is a place that you should definitely check out. Not only will you be able to see the waves, but there is also fishing, sand dunes and a boat ramp.
4. If you are looking for a quiet beach in southern Oregon, consider going to Alfred A. Loeb State Park, off of Highway 101 northeast of Brookings, Oregon. You'll be able to find a quiet riverside area of beach amidst the trees.

Tips & Warnings

• Most beaches are at their quietest in the mornings and the evenings, so if you want to be sure that you'll have quiet space to yourself, consider going at these times.
