The Oregon Coast is a region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It
runs generally north–south along the Pacific Ocean, forming the western border
of the state; the region is bounded to the east by the Oregon Coast Range. The
Oregon Coast stretches approximately 363 miles (584 km) from the Columbia River
in the north to the California state border in the south. The Oregon Coast is
not a specific geological, environmental, or political entity, but instead
includes the entire coastline of Oregon, including the Columbia River Estuary.
The Oregon Beach Bill of 1967 allows free beach access to
everyone. This bill allows private beach landowners to retain certain beach
land rights, but it removes the property tax obligation of the beach landowner.
In exchange, the beach landowner grants an easement passage to pedestrians. The
Beach Bill grants a public access easement on the beach that cannot be taken
away by the landowner; nor can the landowner build on the beach.
