Agate Beach
Public
Lincoln County
Agate Beach is named for the agates found along the Newport and Yaquina Head shoreline, and Oregon Sea Grant notes that winter storms expose the gravel beds that supply beach agates. The site stands out because Oregon ocean-shore rules allow small noncommercial collection of agates and other nonliving natural products, making the access as important as the material.

Beach Area Yachats
Public
Lincoln 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.
