North of the Nehalem River mile 296 is accessible only by an ~2 mile beach walk (or bicycle or horse) or a similar distance on a sandy track running down the center of the spit.

A sunny weekend day at the beach, loads of people, SOLV cleanup in September, beach extremely clean.

Gorgeous day: low temperature brought out only the hardiest, well-wrapped walkers.

Since this mile, ending in the Nehalem Bay North Jetty, is in a state park and activity is patrolled by park rangers, it is clean.
