What a treasure, it looks like a movie set. This was a great hike, nicely groomed trail and a true sense of peace.

I used to come here a lot as a kid, I think I thought there really where hobbits, there are lots of little hubbies and holes here and there. It is a good hike now as an adult, the beach is usually uncrowded, and it is a good place to fly a kite.

This is the first time we had been to Hobbit Beach but we decided to give it a try after seeing the reviews here. My wife 38, Myself 38 and my 2 kids, 3 and 7 made the trip. As has been posted previously the pullout to park falls between Devils Elbow/Heceta Lighthouse and Washburne State Park. The turnout is... More

I'm a Tolkien fan, so I had to do this. It's a great trail! I love taking my dogs to it. I wouldn't recommend taking a bunch of beach stuff (i.e. chairs, umbrellas, etc..) but anything that will fit in a backpack is fine. The beach is beautiful and the most people I've seen there is a family of 5.

The hike was pretty easy. We did it with a 5, 10 and 11 year old. The beach is great. Had very few people, nice tide pools and it's big. The kids enjoyed the beach, tide pools and climbing the rocks and sand hills.

This trail has lots of little areas that my daughter and I could picture fairies camping in. At the bottom was a very pretty beach to walk on with minimal people on it. A strenuous hike from the beach back up to the road, but well worth it!

This is a 1/2 mile hike just north of the Heceta Head Lighthouse. There is no sign but you will see a large parking area on the right side of the HWY. Park here and cross the highway, you will see a trail. Just a few yards down the trail there will be a sign here. Go right to head... More

I love the hobbit trails and the beach that they lead to. I have been going there for many years! It has not changed and I am always pleasantly surprised to emerge from the enclosed trails to the wide, open beach.

This is a fun little trail for the casual walker/hiker. Very easy and ends up at the ocean in a secluded little area. Don't just drive along looking for a sign though. Do your homework on the location because this isn't the easiest to find. Definately recommend.

Nice short 1/2 mile trail down to a beautiful beach. The parking is across the street from the trail head. Worth the trek down. Coming up is a little harder of course. Enjoy!
