Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is a great and beautiful beach with beautiful scenery. It is a fantastic place to spend time with family and friends, remaining a family favorite. The giant sand dune is fun to climb. There is plenty of beach to walk and play, and you can drive right down to the water and into the dune. It is a nice, clean, and well taken care of place with great facilities. Visitors enjoy activities like surf fishing, flying kites, tide pool exploring, and taking photoshoots, especially at sunset. It is a very busy place, however, and parking can be a problem.
