Curtis Street Beach/Seal Rock North though not an official park, is public access to the beach just north of Seal Rock State Recreational Area.  The Curtis Street Beach Parking lot is a well maintained dirt/sand lot located just of Hwy 101 at Mile Post 152, and directly across from Curtis Street on the east side of the highway. 

 

From the parking lot it’s a short 50 yards to the beach, and walking south will give you a different perspective, of the rock formations at Seal Rock.  It’s a nice quiet beach without many people and a photographer’s paradise with ample rock formations, waves and wildlife to photograph.   This small beach is also an oasis for agates, and rarely agate-hunters come home empty handed.

 

Low tide not only reveals tide pools, but the unique rock formations on the beach.  Much of the beach floor is slab volcanic rock with interesting shapes and formations.  Storm watchers often stop here in the winter during King Tides as the waves crashing on the rocks are impressive and waves huge. 

No Public Bathrooms or picnic tables;

Dog friendly;

Rocky shores and sandy beaches;

Fishing allowed from shore with license.

Small dirt parking lot.

Directions by Car:  Go north on Hwy 101 thru Seal Rock to Mile Post 152, and turn left into Curtis St Lot.

About Your Host

Ellen Nieslanik has lived and worked in productive agriculture her entire life, raising her three children on the same Colorado ranch where she was brought up. Ellen married her childhood friend Joe Nieslanik and together they raised sheep in Colorado and Oregon until 2017 when Ellen's health pushed them to look for ways to spend retirement in a less physically demanding industry.  


Ellen continues to nurture her her ties to agriculture and occasionally raises a litter of puppies, but Seals' Landing is now Ellen's "farm to tend". Purchased in November 2020, the property has been completely renovated while preserving as much of the 101 year old original cottage as possible.  The property is owned jointly Ellen's husband Joe, his sister Bert and her wife Merce.  The sea air has worked wonders with Ellen's health issues. For now Ellen lives here at sea level and her husband Joe remains in Colorado, but visits as often as possible. The goal with Seals' Landing is to open our home/life on the coast to you and to share part of this slice of heaven.

To learn more about Ellen, check out her blog at: https://ellennieslanik.wixsite.com/tendingtheherd. Ellen writes about life lessons learned while raising sheep, ducks dogs and doves -- all the while raising her family.  This blog is started for the sole purpose of sharing those lessons and recording a record for her family and now will include some reflective lessons learned in the serenity of the Oregon coast.
