Netarts Landing is the primary public access point to Netarts Bay, a large, shallow saltwater bay on the northern Oregon Coast between Oceanside and Cape Lookout. The 7-mile-long bay is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists, offering calm, protected waters ideal for exploring. The landing provides essential amenities including a boat ramp, restrooms, picnic tables, and day-use moorage.
The bay's shallow, sheltered character makes it popular for recreational boating and is particularly known for clamming and crabbing opportunities. Paddlers should be aware of tidal influences when planning trips. The landing is conveniently located at the junction of Netarts Bay Drive and Netarts Basin Boat Road in Netarts. Nearby camping options include Derrick Road Dispersed Camping Area and the reservable East Dunes Campground at Sand Lake Recreation Area, both within 10 miles. The area also provides access to nearby natural attractions including Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge and Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge, offering scenic paddling opportunities along this beautiful stretch of the Oregon Coast.
