Please respect the outdoors by practicing Leave No Trace. Learn more about how to apply the principles of Leave No Trace on your next outdoor adventure here.

Tokatee Klootchman State Natural Site is an elevated wayside along the Oregon coast just south of Yachats. The small gravel parking lot has room for a handful of vehicles; it has no turnaround for RVs. Its elevated position makes it a great spot for watching migrating whales.

Behind the signboard is a singletrack trail leading down to the beach. It can be slippery and overgrown, depending on recent weather conditions. Tokatee Klootchman's position at a blind spot along the highway really only makes it safe for southbound vehicles to enter. The site is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. There are no amenities here.
