Yellow Tire is NOT an official beach access, but used by many locals and a great place to access the beach if you want less foot traffic.  It is named for the Yellow Tire marking a driveway just south of the beach access.  Access is  merely a pullout off Pacific Coast Hwy 101 approximately 4 miles north of Yachats.  It sits between 4001 and Silver Surf Motel to the south and  4193 Hwy 101 to the north.  Just across the street from the pullout parking area is NE Vingie Street.  See map below:

Yellow Tire Beach access is marked by a large pile of volcanic rock placed at the trail head to prevent erosion.  The access near the rock is a little steep, but there is a trail to the left that is a more gradual trail down to the beach.   Once on the beach you can you north for miles or south for a mile to the end of the long 8 mile stretch of beach.  The south end of the beach is met by volcanic rock formations and the Town of Yachats.  At low tide these rocks are fun to explore and there are many tide pools amongst the rocks.  Due to the proximity to volcanic rock Yellow Tire is a great beach to find agates. 

 

Yellow Tire offers all that other beaches north offer, plus the addition of basalt rock formations to explore.  It is also the north end of the 804 trail that will take you into Yachats and the Yachats State Park
