08/29/2026

Unfortunately I must make this statement and clarify that the rumors going around about the beach access at Cape Kiwanda being closed to the public and only open for charter Dory boats and commercial Dory boats is FALSE!!!

I repeat those rumors are FALSE. If anyone ever tells you you are not allowed to launch your Dory at Cape Kiwanda because you are a sport Dory, kayak, drift boat, sled, Sea-Doo involved in fishing they are wrong!! If confronted ask politely for their name, their authority and the law stating that you are not allowed to launch. No one other than an authorized state representative from Oregon State Parks, Oregon State Police, local fire department or there is an emergency situation on the beach can deny a vessel from launching from the beach.

I will attach the O.A.R and the O.R.S that states as much these rumors need to stop. I find myself having to repeat myself every two years because someone was told they were not allowed to launch. We as the Dory fleet are supposed to support each other not create a divide.

OAR 736-024-0015
Tillamook County: Restrictions

(A) From the base of the headland south of Cape Kiwanda, Y 584, 879, southerly approximately 400 feet to Y 584, 688, motor vehicles essential to and engaged in boat, as defined in ORS 830.005(2), launchings, boat recoveries, transferring equipment or supplies onto boats, unloading equipment or catches from boats, or emergency repairs of other vehicles or boats will be allowed at any time during the year;

(B) From Y 584, 688, southerly approximately 700 feet to a line located north of and parallel to the beach ramp near Cape Kiwanda, the point of intersection of said line and the line of vegetation being at Y 584, 097, operation or parking of motor vehicles used for towing boat trailers or essential to boat launchings will be allowed.

“Boat” means every description of watercraft, including a seaplane on the water and not in flight, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation/fishing on the water, but does not include boathouses, floating homes, air mattresses, beach and water toys or single inner tubes.

Photos included to grab your attention taken this year by Rachel Bruce of over 80 Dory boats 90% of them sport not commercial and not charter if you look closely at the pictures you'll also notice all of the kayakers that were out that day at least 25 we welcome anyone that would like to respectfully fish near us on the wide open ocean and launch from the beach at Cape Kiwanda
