More to SeeShore Acres State Park: Once the grand estate of lumberman and shipping baron Louis Simpson, Shore Acres is now a park featuring spectacular ocean views and seven acres of eyepleasing gardens. A formal garden with restored plants and flowers acquired from around the world, a Japanese-style pond, and two rose gardens make for an impressive floral display. From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, thousands of decorative holiday lights give the gardens a festive seasonal glow. Trails at Shore Acres lead to a secluded ocean cove at Simpson Beach and to viewpoints along rugged

sandstone cliffs that make the park one of the best wave and whale watching locations on the Oregon coast. A fully enclosed observation building, popular for storm watching, stands on the former site of the estate’s mansion. Pets are not permitted in Shore Acres State Park.Cape Arago State Park borders Shore Acres to the south.Originally part of the Simpson estate, it was used by the Coast Guard and U.S. Army as a radio station and lookout site during World War II. Trails lead to a sandy beach where you can fish, explore tidepools, and see colonies of seals and sea lions.

Day-Use Area Parking FeesDay-use parking permits are required year-round at Shore Acres. You will need to display a daily permit, a 12- or 24-month permit, an Oregon Pacific Coast Passport, or your camping receipt. A camping receipt is equal to a daily permit for each day you are registered. You can buy a daily permit at the park’s entrance booth or from a nearby vending machine. The Friends of Shore Acres information center and major state park offices throughout the state sell 12- or 24-month permits.

Sailors’ HavenPartially enclosed by steep sandstone bluffs with a narrow passage to the sea, Sunset Bay was once used by fishing boats and other shallow draft vessels as a safe harbor during ocean storms. It may have offered a haven for pirates, too, according to local lore. The bay was named by an early Coos Bay settler.
