Beach Area Yachats
Lincoln County County
The Yachats beach area sits on Oregon's central coast, where storm-reworked gravel can expose agate, chalcedony, jasper, and related beach material. Its strength is broad legal ocean-shore access for small noncommercial collecting, paired with a shoreline that is repeatedly refreshed by Pacific winter wave action.
