The easiest access point is the viewpoint that pulls off Highway 101 to the west.  This viewpoint offers immediate access to Nesika Beach.  The sand comes right up to the parking lot.  From this beach you will be able to see whales (in season), watch surfers (in season), walk or jog at any time of year, collect beach treasures, photograph, and relax.

The air that comes off of the ocean at Nesika Beach is just as clean as the air on Meyers Beach, South Beach, and Bailey Beach.  It is about the purest that air can get.   And the beaches are spotless and clean and for some strange reason uncrowded.

OPHIR (East 101)

The name Ophir occurs in the Bible and refers to a region celebrated for its proverbially fine gold. Efforts to localize the place have not been successful. The complier has been unable to learn who named the place on Euchre Creek in Curry County or when the name was applied, but the word is said to have been chosen because of fine gold in the black beachsands nearby. Ophir post office was established on the Curry County list on June 5, 1891, with Elizabeth J. Burrow first postmaster. It has not been in continuous service but was operating in 1996.
