Whaleshead Beach is walking distance from Whaleshead Resort and Spa and easily accessible from the public parking lot on the beach itself.

Hiking & Walking

Six miles of hiking trails provide great opportunities to see the stunning view of the long curved beach. Whaleshead Beach itself extends two miles to the House Rock Creek trail area and provides a great place for a photo of the ocean over the salmonberry bushes before you settle down for lunch on one of the picnic tables near the restroom area.

Tunnel Trail

Whaleshead Beach Resort is not connected with, nor responsible for, a well-known trail that travels from section C of our property. It is a steep gravel trail that leads to three culverts after approximately twenty minutes of hiking. The middle culvert is a little over 700 feet long and takes approximately three minutes to walk through. The culvert runs beneath Highway 101 and empties to the west onto the beach. Currently, the west side of the tunnel has fallen trees that must be traversed in order to get to the beach. The Tunnel Trail is not maintained by the property, and passage to Whaleshead Beach through this path is at your own risk. We advise that you do not attempt to travel it without boots and a flashlight, and to please avoid it if it’s raining.

Safety & Security

Traveler Safety

Do not admit anyone into your room without first verifying his or her identity. If you are unsure of someone claiming to be a hotel employee, call the Front Desk for verification before allowing entry.
Hotel staff members will never call your room and ask for credit card numbers or other sensitive information. Please notify the Front Desk if you receive such a call.
Do not leave cash or other valuables in your room or vehicle.
Always use all locking devices on the door. Before leaving your room, double check that windows and door are all securely locked.
Keep your room key with you at all times. Do not leave it unattended in your room or elsewhere.
Report any suspicious activity that you observe to the management.

Fire Safety

If you hear an alarm or smell smoke, act immediately; don’t just investigate.
To report a fire, dial 911. Be sure to give your room number. Next, call the Front Desk by dialing 541-469-7446.
Leave your room. Proceed quickly but calmly. Do not panic.
Fire pits, charcoal barbeques, hibachi, coleman ovens/barbeques are STRICTLY prohibited throughout the property.

Earthquake Safety

If you feel any shaking:

Drop, cover and hold on: drop down to the floor as soon as you perceive an earthquake has started; drop down before the earthquake drops you down. Then seek shelter under a desk or table. Crouch down on your knees so that you can move with the table. Hold on to the table leg(s) so you can keep the table over you.
If there is no nearby desk or table, sit on the floor against an inside wall, away from windows, tall furniture or bookcases. Draw up your knees, bend your head toward your knees. Protect your head and neck with your arms.
Go outside once the shaking stops. Make sure you are wearing sturdy shoes before leaving the building. If possible take valuables and medications. Avoid touching downed power lines. If access to exit doors is blocked by earthquake damage, wait for a rescue team.

Tsunami Safety

If you are at the beach or near the ocean and you feel the ground shake or see rapidly rising or falling coastal water levels, move immediately to higher ground and stay there until local authorities say it is safe to return. DO NOT wait for a warning to be announced. If the tsunami is caused by a remote earthquake or volcanic eruption, you will be alerted by a siren, radio or television broadcasts, local first responders and/or an alarm at the hotel.

Often the first wave may not be the largest. The danger from a tsunami can last up to 12 hours after the arrival of the first wave. Tsunamis move faster than a person can run, and can be 30 feet high or higher; sometimes much higher. Never stay near shore to watch a tsunami come in.
