I arrived alone at the park, while Jackie was visiting family and friends in Vancouver.  As camp hosts, the park put us in a great full-hook-up site toward the back of the park.  The park has several loops, some dedicated for only tent sites.  A few actually have cable TV hook-ups.  There are also several yurts available for rent.  It is located on the east side of 101 with beach access by following the creek under a sizable bridge.  

      Jackie and I volunteered to be park hosts and were able to stay two months for our efforts.  We worked four hours a day at the welcome center selling firewood, ice, and other misc. items.  Mostly we provided information for campers about the campground and the surrounding tourist destinations.  We also helped with the recycling center on Sunday mornings while the vast majority of the campers were leaving.  Oregon is really making an effort to recycle, unfortunately most people really don't care, which is sad.

      My favorite part of our stay was when our friends Shane, Betty, and their twin boys spent the weekend with us.  We set up a tent on our site for them to camp in.  Watching the boys play in the tent, woods, and out on the beach was great, they had a blast.  Nearby the park, there are a plethora of things to do and see.  Besides the usual site-seeing things like lighthouses, whale watching, capes, beaches, seals and other wildlife, we found a rec center in Newport where we could play pickleball.  There is no place like the Oregon beach.  Although we were there throughout June and July, the temperature never made it past 72.  We were ready to head over the mountains to take in some central Oregon summer heat.  

     Beverly Beach has become one of our favorite parks, we loved the park, the location, and the staff that we were privileged to work with.
