I wasn’t able to search the web for specifics. Based on my knowledge of Otter Point State Recreation Site, here’s a description:

Otter Point State Recreation Site sits on a dramatic bluff above the Pacific Ocean along Oregon’s southern coast, roughly four miles north of Gold Beach off Highway 101. This small but striking day-use area rewards visitors with panoramic ocean views, rugged sea stacks, and a short trail that winds down through coastal forest to a rocky beach.

The main draw here is the scenery. From the clifftop viewpoint, you can watch for gray whales during their spring and winter migrations, spot harbor seals lounging on offshore rocks, and — true to the name — occasionally catch river otters working the nearby waterways. The short trail to the beach passes through wind-sculpted Sitka spruce and opens onto a stretch of rocky shoreline ideal for tidepooling at low tide. Sea stars, anemones, and hermit crabs are common finds in the pools among the basalt.

This is a day-use only site — no camping is available here. For overnight stays, nearby options include Honey Bear Campground and Cape Sebastian State Scenic Corridor, both a short drive south. There are picnic tables and a small parking area, but no water or restrooms, so plan accordingly.

The best time to visit is late spring through early fall when fog lifts early and tides cooperate for beach access. Winter storms bring spectacular wave watching from the safety of the bluff. Otter Point works well as a quick Highway 101 stop or a peaceful hour-long visit — just don’t skip the trail down to the shore.
